Can I get this deal without the tv package?
I only really need a internet and phone deal.
Thanks

I think you can but the deal works out cheaper with the TV as the Quidco cashback is a lot more that way.



I have just signed up for BT and got a cracking deal:

BT TV (includes a Youview+ Box) + Broadband + Calls via Quidco has £250 cashback at present (expires today):

http://www.quidco.com/bt-broadband/?ac

BT also have a 'Black Friday Sale' of a £50 Sainsbury Gift Card

So went for the TV Essential + Unlimited Broadband + Weekend Calls (12 month Contract) it costs:

+ £10/month for 12 months = £120/year
+ Line Rental Saver £159.84/year = £13.32 a month
+ £35 Activation fee
+ Home Hub delivery Charge of £6.95

Total = £321.79/year or £26.82/month

Less £250 Quidco Cash Back - paid out as Amazon vouchers to get the 6% bonus so = £265

Total = £56.79/year or £4.73/month

Less £50 Sainsbury Gift Card

Total = £6.79/year or £0.57/month

Then

I paid the years line rental (£159.84) up front on my credit card paying 1% cash back = £1.60 Cashback

I opted to pay the £35 activation fee plus the £6.95 delivery fee on my first bill which is via Direct Debit from Santander123 which pays 3% Cashback = £1.26 Cashback

I will be paying £10 per month for 12 months also via Santander 123 getting 3% Cashback = £3.60

So a further £1.60 + £1.26 + £3.60 to take off = £6.46

Gives a final total of £0.33 for the 12 months or £0.0275 a month

I think that is my best ever deal on anything!

:beer:

Edit: When I spend the vouchers on Amazon I will do it via Easy Fund Raising which pays my local good cause 1.5% cashback = £3.98

So it will work out that I am in effect 'making' £3.65 on the deal!

I already have my phone with BT so I'm guessing I won't get cashback on them.

Now I am depressed because I have just asked Sky to sign me up for another year as my contract ends today. I have also just bought a Humax HD box (which I could take back because I think it's faulty) I also have a Santander 123 account. I have 2 routers.

My only concern is Quidco. I always use Top cashback because I have had issues with Quidco's hit and miss tracking. It's a lot of money to lose. Also, it's all very well saying you don't pay but you are still paying for goods at Amazon and Sainsburys instead of just getting the cash back. You still have to purchase goods. I would prefer the cash.

Can I still cancel my Sky offer ? Do I have a cooling off period ?

Again, can I still go ahead with this despite agreeing to another 12 months with a new offer from Sky which will start tomorrow when my current deal ends today ?

This is the email they set me. Looks like I can't then
