Cashback on three mobile

Juli_b

This is probably going to sound really stupid, but I called three’s direct sales to take a new contract. Only after ordering did I check the moneysaving website and see the referral scheme and the cashback that could be claimed via quidco. As I’m still in my cooling off period I’m considering cancelling this contract and taking out a new one to receive these benefits but do not want this to affect my credit rating or history. Is this dumb?

Thanks

Juli

You will need another credit check for the 2nd phone, even if the first is cancelled. And of course more credit checks = bad

If you did wanna do it, i'd suggest ordering the 2nd phone before cancelling the 1st. If you cancel the 1st then get rejected for the 2nd you'll be stuck

Is the cashback worth the hassle?

Could be as much as £80 - well worth a bit of hassle.
