Hi,
I work for one of the DSGi chains. After discovering this post and doing alittle bit of my own investigation, this is the most up to date info i received as of 02/01/2010.
To summerise
Open Code scheme applies to certain stores which require them to obtain the code from their head offices. Stores include John Lewis, MacD, Barclays and a few more.
(Don't know the entire list)
From the 1st of December 2009, Open Code holders will only receive £75 cashback on contract tariffs and nothing else.
If you work for one of the retail chains owned by DSGi (PC world, Currys or Dixons online) then Open Code scheme doesn't apply. DSGi is a Channel Partner with 02. (Not sure how many other companies are also 02 Channel partners)
All Channel Partner employees receive 30% off contract tariff prices INCLUDING iPhone tariffs, BUT won't receive any discount off the cost of the handset price. So if the handset isn't free on selected tariffs (3Gs iphones for example), then you will still have to pay for the cost of the handset.

***To apply for a staff tariff you will need your recent payslip. The employee number is the Channel Partner Number they require as well as your store's location number, store's name, name of the manager, when you were employeed by the company, your proof of ID and Address and of course a valid Visa/Debit card.***
Once you have all this go to any 02 store with those details and sign up to the tariff of your choice. If you experience any difficulty with the staff then politely insist that they call their staff account team infront of you and make sure they feed the info across to them about working for DSGi and being a channel partner etc. You will find that their staff account team will back you up on this.
