Author confused about cash back
Jo

I've gone for one of the 12 month cash back offers with
onestopphoneshop and thought I'd better try and understand the process
before the date arrives that I need to claim :)

I'm on Orange off peak 1000 which is =A320 per month. On the 'your
offer explained' sheet it says the free gifts to follow are =A358 month
4, =A358 month 8 and =A35 month 12. It also says there will be an auto
chequeback of =A366 within 90 days. This of course comes to =A3187 which
is =A353 less than a years line rental.

I'd be glad if someone could clear this up - I've probably missed
something :)

Thanks,

Joanne

Looks like a misprint to me?

If you get £58 cashback on months 4, 8 & 12 (not £5 on month 12), then
don't the figures work out okay?

Yep you're right - should have thought a bit about it :)

as an aside they really don't check the memory on these phones do they
- theres um some naughty videos on it.

Hi Joanne,

As someone has already pointed out, the final cashback should be £58 and
your paperwork contains a typo. If the same error is replicated on any
vouchers that you have received I would make a point of demanding that
they reissue the offending voucher ASAP as it will be nigh on impossible
to prove that this was a typo 12 months down the line when they actually
do send you through a £5 cheque instead of a £58 one.

What's more, as you only have 14 days to alert OSPS to any missing
vouchers I would wager that they will apply the same principle to
vouchers with wrong amounts on them so you'd better get your skates on.

Thanks.

the vouchers aren't actually completed so i guess I'll just give them a
call to confirm the ammounts are correct.

Yeah I know - it didn't bother me as I get 12 months free instead of 6
months for 99p. I just thought they might have wiped the memory card
(although I'm not sure they knew it was there as they also included a
second card)
