Cash back Tariffs

[Anonymous]

What is a cash back Tariff? Why do you give way £150? What are the differences between a cash back tariff and choosing a new tariff?

[perksie]

Do you have a link for the tariff you were looking at?

I've don't think I've seen these on the O2 site but you can find them at a site like Quidco for example.

O2 do offer these but usually it's when you sign up to a new contract and keep your old phone

I was offered £150 to switch to a simo tariff when my contract ran out. It was a credit applied to the account.
You may also find cash back offered from 3rd party resellers like Carphonewarehouse but this is cash back from the reseller and nothing to do with O2.

That's an O2 Reward isn't it, I've got that in my account for taking out a contract?

Not what I would normally call a cashback offer and not a tariff.

Yes, it would be better described as a "Reward".

I'm guessing the OP has seen cashback deals on 3rd party sites and doesn't realise it's nothing to do with O2 - However, we may never know......

I suspect you're right, I wonder why it's so hard to get a detailed question?

There are definitely Cash Back tariffs on offer on the O2 website - I am considering it but don't see an explanation as to how they give the money (£150) back.

Does anyone know if its through concessions to the monthly rate or whether its a lump sum?

There is very little information available to make an informed decision.

I have never seen one yet, show us a link to the page if you have one.

It is taken of each monthly bill for the 24 months contract
