Dialaphone o2 casback deals - how exactly?

LB1985

Have had two contracts through Dialaphone (one with T-Mobile, one with Three) and have, so far, not had any problems with claiming cashback. I've had a look at some of the o2 deals, but see that they state "cashback by redemption to your airtime account in 4 stages: £75.03 at month 3, £50.02 at month 6, £50.02 at month 9 and £25.01 at month 11". How exactly does this work? Line rental is normally £30 a month, so will I be billed £30/month for the first three months, and then less for subsequent months? Cheers!

you would be billed £30 a month every month...

...and you would claim cashback in months 3, 6, 9 and 11

Thanks. I ask because on my current contract, cashback is credited directly to my bank account. However, the details I have copied above state it will be credited to my airtime account. I just wanted to make sure that this credit can be used to pay for line rental as opposed to calls or text messages which fall outside of the inclusive (200 mins, 50 texts) allowance.

ah ok sorry misread it, as far as im aware you would still pay full line rental... any unused credited airtime after 12 months can be returned as cash

hmm, so let me get this right 2... im looking at a deal on dial-a-phone, where ur credited on your airtime account - that means the money is credited to your phone account and not your bank account? But the money gets credited to you after the 12 months of the contract?
