yeah but it still cost you £10 more! not money saving......btu i guess its suitbable for those that are forgetful to claim the money!

But there is also a cost in claiming the money

1) Postage - paying extra to send with signed for / recorded
2) Paying upfront whilst waiting for cashback cheques
3) Always risk that company goes bust and wont pay cashback

So getting a good deal upfront might be more worthwhile

Not really as mentioned the postage costs sending recorded and also if anything goes wrong i wont have the the cost of sending it back just taking it back which kind of evens the deals out and for me saves me the hassle of thinking of having to claim when ive heard 3 can be a bit late at times sending bills out and maybe missing the claim time, even taking the £10 into consideration its well worth it for peace of mind.

It saved me £100 as i had originally gone for the k750i which had no cashback deal.

And how many posts have there been for people asking about non cashback deals they dont want to have to remember to send off bills? Saves a lot of hassle;)

Great! That really is a good deal! Can I ask you was it a 12 month contract or a 18 month contract? & do you have a direct link to the deal on the CPW site?
Thanks!

Sure i chose the 12 month option but there is the 18 month option too
