BT Infinity deal

Hi

I am currently with Virgin and weighing up the idea of moving to BT fibre. The deal posted appears to be a brilliant deal compared to Virgin but what is the likelyhood of receiving the £125.00 prepay mastercard and 50.00 cashback?

Can the prepay mastercard be used to make a payment onto the BT account?

Also not sure how to go about changing. I would like to keep my landline number. Do I sign up first with BT? What about the 30 day cancellation period with Virgin?

Any feedback is appreciated.

    I dont know about whether the prepay mastercard can be used to top up your BT account, but to get the card, you have to follow the instructions on the email they send you after signing up. Its easy enough as long as you follow the instructions. I had no issues receiving the card but it can take around 30 days.


    I also got about £115 Topcashback with my deal last year making it even better :)

    You just sign up with BT and they should do everything in the background and your Virgin one should stop when BT take over the line

    You can't "top up" a BT account.

    The payment options are whole bill Direct Debit or monthly payment plan.

    Go through TopCasback Site.You will get £180 from them and your BT Reward card on top of that.

    I have received this deal with 3 different properties I own.

    That's only for the top package though. There is a sliding scale for lower packages. Although I do agree that the OP should check out TCB/Quidco to see what the best cashback rates are.
