It was something like 3 cashback points of £99 each available but with a
maximum of two claims permitted. The deal gave a net £5 per month rental
assuming the 3 cashbacks but given only 2 were claimable and the true cost
would of been £13.33 per month. Still not a lot for the deal but I ought to
have taken them up on it --- but ---- time!!!! I stuck with e2save - better
the devil you know!!
