Upfront Cashback Deals

Are there any upfront cashback deals anymore. I remember fwdcellular.
But all of what I can see now are post your statement after 4 8 and 12
months which is a hastle. I can't guarantee I'll remember.

Anyone got any ideas or sites that they found?

Time2Talk used to do these but, alas, their 12 months Upfront page is
still stuck in a timewarp.

E2Save did have one or two "instant cashback" deals a month or so ago. I
guess they were just dipping their toes in the water.

The biggest players in the "upfront cashback" market at the moment would
be Phonebox Direct/CoolNewMobile/3MobileFones. They have a wide range
of upfront cashback deals. Alas, they're nowhere near as lucrative as
the traditional cashback options.

Infact, the level of upfront cashback on offer is probably a good
indicator of the percentage of failed claims that these retailers are
hoping for via the traditional route.

Hi

As others have said upfront cashback offers aren't as cheap as the
normal cashback route of sending off vouchers as the retailers count on
people losing such vouchers. However another route / option you might
have missed is getting a phone that comes with a 'free' gift such as an
xbox 360, iPod, PSP or Sat NAV etc.

With these deals you usually get the gift automatically sent to you
after 30 days of being connected and then this is yours to do with as
you please: sell on ebay for instant(ish) cash, a present for yourself
or others with Christmas coming up etc

Hopefully the above type of deals should help you get as much
'cashback' from your new mobile phone deal ASAP - almost up front
cashback!
