Mobile Phones with Free Gifts, how does it work?
What is Cashback?
For over 10 years the UK has enjoyed some great mobile phone deals. Most retailers offering free line rental through the guise of cash back procedures. Customers normally pay the total monthly line rental as normal then redeem the cash back deal as advertised. The cash back is then normally paid by the retailer in stages i.e. 3rd month, 6 month, 9 month, 12 month by cheque. The new Upfront Cashback Deals (sometimes called Instant or Automatic Cashback) are fast replacing Free Line Rental Deals because they are normally payed out quicker, in-total and therefore less hassle for consumers. The retailer will send you a cheque or pay the total amount into your bank account after your satisfaction period (as outlined in retailers terms & conditions). Most retailers offering free and discount line rental deals advertise monthly tariffs as an equivalent after cash back. This can be handy when wanting to workout how much you'll be spending over the full term of your new contract.
Tips: Handsets alone are very expensive and can cost hundreds of pounds, that's why choosing a contract mobile phone deal is often the best and most popular option. When deciding on your choice of mobile deal bear-in-mind that if the handset you want is the very latest model - you are not going to find, for example, an expensive LCD TV as a free gift on a tariff of £20.00 per month (unless you are prepared to pay some cash upfront for the overall package, or in some cases a lengthy 24 contract which may suit you regardless. This option will suit some people. Say if you're a looking for a games console and a new contract mobile phone deal at the same time). Alternatively, try looking for a deal that suits your monthly call allowance and text needs, even if it means paying a little extra initially to get your hands on your desired console or that latest ipod. Also bare-in-mind 18 month and 24 month contracts normally offer better tariffs that included more minutes & text as well as offering free gifts with a greater value. Be realistic, you may only find discount line rental deals on top end and just released handsets, however these deals still offer great value for money. A popular option is to go for a slightly older model that still boasts many features of newer handsets, then you can still enjoy better cashback or free gift deals.
Be organised when it comes to redeeming normal redemption cashback deals. Note in a diary, for example, when you need to send in your claim form(s) as instructed by the retailer. Or set a 'future alert' on your new mobile - anything as long as you get your claim form in, it's down to you! Indeed one of the reasons why retailers are able to offer these amazing deals is because a certain percentage of customers fail to comply with terms and conditions. This voids the claim and results in customers losing out, once again, be organised!
Free Electricals & Games Consoles You may choose to opt for a free electrical product like a free XBOX or iPod. A redemption voucher is normally included with your handset package, you then claim your free product. It normally takes between 7 and 28 days (depending on the retailers policy) for your free gift to be delivered. Here's a few recommendations when it comes to choosing retailers that ship free gifts for delivery the next day!...
