    It doesn't "revert back". Clearly you don't have a clue about how cashback contracts work.

    Sorry, to be more exact, you can't claim cash back on it anymore.

    If they're marketing it as a £9.50/month contract, it's acceptable to suggest it "reverts back" after the term ends, even though you've been paying it all along.

    Not really. It's always the full amount each and every month; the cashback is claimed at set periods from the dealer and has absolutely nothing to do with the network or the tariff you pay. I don't know why anyone would continue a contract afte the minimum term since there's almost always a much better new deal.
