Generally dealers don't get their subsidy from the networks
until your contract is 6 months old.
So it's not in the dealers interest to take the risk of paying out any
cashbacks till then

That's because the more they keep in their accounts, the more interest they
get.
Cashback is best avoided as it is a gamble as to whether the company will
still be in business.
