Cashback - Get PAID £12 for a 'free' 24mth contract with a Samsung Galaxy

Apologises if I am spreading known wisdom, I am a first time poster, but I was searching for a new mobile pay monthly tariff and spotted this deal from The SmartPhone Company. Due to multiple cashback redemptions (a total of £192) you get PAID £0.50 a month to have a Samsung Galaxy J1 in blue, black or white. The handset is also free.

The tariff (usually £7.50 per month) and line rental (approx £8 per month) is from Talkmobile on their Talkmobile Saver with 250 minutes, 5000 texts and 500MB of data. So in total (after cashback) you get paid £12 over the 24 month contract to take out the deal!

What is even better is that you get free next working day delivery if you order before 8pm each day!

So just go to Moneysupermarket and search for the Samsung Galaxy J1 or Samsung branded phones and sort by cheapest tariff. Apologises, I would post the link but new member problems!

    You can do better on cashback contracts at present. I got one recently to add to my collection. Of course, if you don't know what you're doing you may end up paying rather than getting paid.

    Or the cashback paying company might go bust and then you'll get left paying the contract.

    Phones4U / Dial a phone went bust owing lots of cashback and were hardly a small player.

    Not a problem if you've spent the last ten years with multiple profitable cashback deals and know how to mitigate losses in such rare situations.

    trust pilot reviews seem good
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    I have been using their sister company for the last few months. I have taken two of my people there too. I regard them as higher risk but apart from the ordering stage (which is abysmal) the rest has been good so far. However, these are cashback contracts so the groundrules always apply and recent success shouldn't mean people rush into these deals and this dealer without a lot more research than most people undertake.

    can you show the link please :)
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    Both http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/ and http://www.smartphonecompany.co.uk/ have a 24 month contract for a Nokia 215 which works out at £1.50 per month or 50 pence per month for refurbished after cashback. Its £7.50pcm before cashback with talkmobile. Also topcashback may give approx £30 cashback.

    Yes, but a few weeks ago it was £0. These deals have been around for months.
