iphone on 02 and Quidco

dgibby

Hello. The iphone price on 02 has been reduced by £100 so now £169 on the website for 8gb version. BUT - if you use Quidco and do the £100 cashback for getting an O2 contract, that therefore means you get a brand spanking new iphone for £69. Next step would be to get a better deal from o2!

When you order an iphone via the net (and quidco), you don't set up a contract. (Don't you do that later after you have received the phone, via itunes?).

So do you actually qualify for the £100 quidco cashback (as no contract has been entered into via quidco)?

Has anybody succeeded with this?

I'm interested in the answer to this question, too!

There was discussion about this yesterday but a BG posted a note to stop as it could have legal consequences for the MSE site if people are being encouraged to bypass getting a contract on the iPhone.

HTH.

Quentin

No question of trying to bypass getting a contract. (You an off duty traffic warden?)

Read the question asked! (Do you get quidco cashback on this deal?)

Thanks Quentin! Just to re-iterate my original question, I am quite keen on an iphone and think if all adds up right I could get one for £69 through Quidco and then 02 if I choose one of their monthly contracts (prob £35 a month). Sounds too good to be true....

Thank you.

Note that the £100 quidco offer only runs for 5 more days.

This was not aimed as a personal attack on your very valid question - I was just saying that a similar discussion yesterday was subsequently stamped on after the conversation veered into how to bypass the contract bit, and hence as a warning for people to NOT encourage posting in a way that might make that happen again. You see?

I was looking at the QuidBlog myself just now and came back to post but been beaten to it.

Quentin

Not sure I see at all - looks a bit jobsworthy to me!!

We now know you only get the £100 from quidco once the contract has been set up.

what's jobsworthy about trying to prevent one of my on-line hangouts landing in hot water over something? blimey! I don't even want an iPhone, but I do want MSE's website to stay here as it's jolly useful - so if that puts me in the same category as traffic wardens and wheel clampers (no offence to any in those professions), so be it!

what I'm not is a lawyer that writes crystal clear statements... but then some might say a good lawyer is often considered one who is able to effectively confuse matters!

If it makes you happy, I have highlighted the 'if' in my original post.
