best auto cashback deal?

The missus is looking for a phone, doesnt have one atm (she shouldnt use her work one for personal but has for 2 years...) I figure an auto cashback deal is best given that she forgets most things.. I really dont want to chase her, redemptions, causing arguements and risk £400+ (i did a redemption the other year and missed one, £70/£280)

Best i can see is e2save, 200min/txt pm, for £9.17, add to that £36.50 quidco and it comes in at £6 pm. Any one find any better? :beer:

    Avoid the latter. Go with E2Save so you can issue a LBA as soon as it doesn't arrive and claim the WHOLE cashback for the year when they fail to get you the cheque within the timescale specified in your LBA.

    Go for e2save. It's more reliable.

    I just got an e2save deal with £36.50 quidco. It was 12 months on o2, 200 mins and 200 texts. I selected bespoke options and went for the £250 automatic cashback after 90 days, instead of the multiple claim redemption. Saves all the aggro, including paying for special delivery when you send the bills off. Cost to me was £360 - £250 - £26.50 = £73.50, or £6.12 per month for year.

    It included a free Sony Ericsson S500i, which was completely unbranded and unlocked to any network. Because I already have a phone I like, I may put that on eBay, so will probably end up paying nothing. And all without the cashback claim grief.

    No agro? Perhaps you should read the E2save's thread where people are in a long queue suing them for non-payment of automatic cashbacks whilst being fobbed off with extremely lame excuses.

    Really? Will take a look. Oh well, at least it's easy to Sue them, with a one off payment.

    True. However, they've just avoided me doing just that - really thought I'd get there with them this time!

    Is there anyway one person could breach the t+c of the auto cashback, that will void the payment. In the sense that you will stay with them for the entire term and pay on time.
    Is it just them not fulfilling the offer that is the problem or a hidden trap within the t+c which is why people are not getting paid?
    If is is just them I think i'll give it a shot.

    When you add the automatic cashback to the cart it says it will be paid after 30 days. Later in the checkout process, if you click on the little (i) button, it says approx 90 days. Any idea which it is supposed to be?
