Anyone had any dealings with this company? They seem to have some amazing deals but are they trustworthy, esp when it comes to redemptions?

Dont have any experience with them but the deals dont look that good, certainly no better than any where else such as e2save

Was thinking about the SE k800i phone.

K800i on Panther45 (12mth contract) with Orange:

e2save: handset free, 5 months@£0.99, 7 months@£45 totalling £319.95

mobileclub7: handset £159.99, 12 months free (or rather free via cashback at months 6,9,12) totalling £159.99

Whois shows their domain to have been live since 2004, so there not new.

As long as you stick to the cashback T&C then it seems like a good deal, (best i can see).

Would be worried that there were going to vanish with a deal like that. £159.99 up front seems a bit strange.

Thanks for the advice.
I phoned them up and it sounds like an overseas call centre. The rep didn't know about their own internet deal and tried persistently to hard sell an inferior package. They sounded very unprofessional and they were clearly reading from a script, telling me that i need to use their online forum to make enquiries into the web deal. Like you say spamalot, it does sound too good to be true tempting customers into paying a relatively large amount of cash upfront. Also their terms and conditions for cashback is poorly written and unclear. I shall be giving them a wide berth.
