Is it worth doing cashback??

dee100

I'm looking to get my 1 st mobile!!!
Will do 600 mins 100 texts pm
One compare do"easy payback deals." NO idea what that entails.
What do I do? Am totally confused.
3 retail store do £27 pm 1100 mins or texts, no cashback.
I like Nokia cos the letters are larger and phone is slim enough to fit my jean pocket. Feedback re cashback appreciated.

i signed up for a cashback deal a few years back.
was meant to send in my phone bills from the 9th, 12th, and 18th month to get my cashback.

The company folded before the 9 th month.
it's VERY common for this to happen.

if u can follow the steps what the mobile company asked to do like send the bills which months they asked by recorded delivery within deadline, then there is no reason why willn't receive chequeback. And, offcourse please buy cashback mobile contract from well known company like e2save, dial-a-phone etc as there is a less possibilty they will go liquidation.

dee100 I'm sorry to sound dismissive but a simple search "cashback" would tell you how all about the hassle, success levels, and techniques to succeed with cashback deals. It's been discussed endlessly yet people still come on and ask "is it worth doing cashback".

The answer depends entirely on how good you are at following instructions to the letter, understanding deliberately misleading wording, and how willing you are to keep meticulous records and go through the courts to get your money if need be.

Good luck.

Have to agree with Sid Harper's post - only do cashback if you're prepared to be v.careful with your research and claims - if you put the work in its fine, otherwise look elsewhere.

The 3 deal (1100 mix and match) can be had for sub £15pcm - its on offer at £20 less £62.50 Quidco and refer a friend at £30 - £14.86 all in.
