Smarty cashback - too good to be true?

I already have a smarty account, and was about to renew it for one month when I saw that topcashback and quidco offer cashback equaling (or almost equaling) the amount I'd pay.

For example, if I choose the 10 pound plan for 30giga data for one month, I get 8.50 pounds cashback on topcashback 
and 10 pounds cashback on quidco, meaning I get my month for free in the end. I could even earn with premium cashback accounts.

How can this make sense? Am I missing something?
TIA
Regards

    No i had a similar thing with Voxi  i got a sim and top it up with £10 but the signal was really bad i was only trying it to see if the signal had got any better round here but no it hadn't, so i cancelled after about 3 days anyway after about a week i got a email from them with an amazon code for £10 which came as a surprise.
    It's really to entice people to sign-up still good if you are thinking of going with them......Every little helps
    If you put a claim into both of them i don't think both will pay out it will probably be one or the other but worth a try.

  • Are you sure the cashback isn't just for new customers, as it is (or used to be) with 3?

    Well, the links I posted from the cashback sites do not mention anything like that, apparently.
