    Hey is the £258 price including the £50 discount from trade in? So like is it £310 without trading anything in? I just bought one... the amount of legal crap was ridiculous I didn't read any of it haha. The direct debit is set up for around £16, did I do it right? Thank you if you can help. Seems like an incredible deal

    a) is the £258 price including the £50 discount from trade in? No. The price is £258 without the trade in.
    b) The direct debit is set up for around £16, did I do it right? It doesn't sound like you did. It should be £10. Double-check it because you might have signed up for a 36-month contract. You need to select the one that says "Monthly rolling Airtime Plan" and not one of the "36 month Device Plan Monthly rolling Airtime Plan" options.

    I've had a reply to confirm you don't need to keep the O2 contract to claim the Fitbit:


    On 14 December 2022 09:25:26 Google Promotions wrote:

    Good morning,

    Thank you for your email.

    You can still claim for the gift, as you have paid for the phone in full.

    As long as you can provide a Proof of Purchase.

    A valid Proof of Purchase needs to clearly show us all 3 of the following:
    • Who the retailer was you made your purchase from (this can be a logo or company name)
    • What you purchased (the product name)
    • When you made your purchase (the date)

    This information can usually be found on one or a combination of the following documents:

    • A till receipt if you made your purchase in store
    • An invoice
    • An email confirmation after you made your purchase
    • A delivery note within the box that you received

    We also require an image of the IMEI1 of the phone too.

    Should you have any other queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

    Kind Regards,

    @ Google Promotional Support Team

    I've purchased a Pixel 6a through O2 with their Monthly rolling Airtime Plan.
    Can I still claim for the Versa 4 if I cancel the O2 Monthly rolling Airtime Plan (I've paid O2 for the phone in full)?
    Thanks.
    MrBealzebub's avatar
    Not quite the reply I received today when asking them to clarify the offer by putting the same question to them. I got this after they requested an upload of the O2 invoice that came with the phone: Good Morning,

    Thank you for your email.

    To be able to claim for this promotion you must have a valid contract during the time of the claim period.

    We must see a copy of the contract in order for us to process your claim.

    Please refer to the general terms here: promo-rewards.com/sma…rms
  3. monkeez's avatar
    just had a read through the T&C's that i could find and all it says on O2 to be able to claim the Fitbit:
    'The Pixel 6a, 7 or 7 Pro must be purchased on a mobile network contract'

    But on Google it says:
    'Buy a Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro SIM-free between 6th - 24th December 2022, or on a Pay Monthly Contract between 6th - 29th December 2022. Participating retailers vary depending on the purchase type'
    newb's avatar
    I've submitted a question on the watch claim site asking if I could still claim if I cancelled my O2 contract. Will update when I get a reply...
  4. mudddy's avatar
    For the sake of £10, I'll be keeping the contract running, rather than risk losing the claim.
    MrBealzebub's avatar
    Think it could be £30 though and not £10 you have to spend. The first month will expire before the claim date. The second month will cover the claim date, but in the small print you have to give 30 days notice to end the contract. That could mean if you cancel it on the 2nd month it may show on your account as cancelled/pending cancellation. The way I read it, the only safe way would be to keep the contract for 3 months, which then begs the question, how much do you want the fitbit? In my case, I'd rather save my cash, as I don't need one, and the cash I made from CEX on my old phone means it was a pretty good deal regardless.
  5. angie555's avatar
    I will try again tomorrow to cancel and get away from these people
    MrBealzebub's avatar
    Given the problems you've had it might be worth doing it via the online chat on the app. Yes, it can take a helluva lot longer than a phone call, but you have evidence of everything that was agreed when you request a transcript be emailed to you at the end of the chat. During mine I asked them to confirm the cancellation date and that I would not be charged anything further at the end of the 30 day cancellation notice twice before I ended the chat. This way, should it not be actioned they won't have a leg to stand on as you will have it all available at your fingertips as to what was agreed. I was especially pleased to have done it this way when I they told me my cancellation request would not show on my account, nor could they send email confirmation.

    I cannot find my super old Huawei or Moto G phone in the O2 Recycle list and IMEI just says it's a device that's not in their portfolio, I can't see an other/not listed option but it says "Guaranteed £50 when you trade in any phone. Ends 28 Dec." Any idea how to make this work on O2 recycle?

    o2recycle.co.uk/ (edited)
  7. Kai41's avatar
    Is the extra £50 trade in still available if i'm cancelling the airtime straight away?
    W_Hosking's avatar
    Yes, you can trade in after, i had a leaflet come with my phone to say if you didnt not it straight away then you can still do it by quoting order number, the order number will show against the guaranteed 50.00 trade in on your O2 order email.
  8. redduck's avatar
    My claim was approved in less than 10 minutes! Question is, how long do I leave it before ringng O2 to give my 30 days cancellation notice?
    49327218_1.jpg (edited)
    Greigy's avatar
    Cancelled my contract on the day I received my phone. Had no issues getting my watch promo approval.
  9. redduck's avatar
    Is there any chance that buying a phone like this will stop me qualifying for the watch?

    Edit: bought anyway. Guess I'll find out on January 16th. Any ideas what I'll need to prove that I've bought the phone ?

    Edit 2: found it in the page

    "When submitting your claim, you'll just need to provide the following:

    Purchase date
    Retailer name or logo
    Product details and IMEI1 number
    Personal details
    Proof of purchase" (edited)

    Did anyone else take this out on an O2 Refresh Unlimited mins 2GB tariff?

    I'm trying to cancel the contract and keep the device but they're telling me I have to return the device. They seem to think that some of the device cost is covered in the £10p/m amount.

    Seem to finally be getting there now (once I argue that the £258.60 up front means the device is paid off) but it's been nearly an hour now.

    I got one of these for my wife too so dreading having to go through this again.

    EDIT: Eventually got this sorted. If you took the deal out in the same way that I did, make sure that you explain that you paid £258.60 up-front, paying for the device. They will then cancel the contract and you can keep the device. Took me an hour but I eventually got there. I will apparently receive a cancellation notice within 14 days stating that I don't owe anything (maybe getting a £10 refund) and I've cancelled my direct debit. (edited)

    An update of the saga of getting the £50 trade-in.
    After all the code not valid rejections, 4 emails and 2 phone calls, I now have, in writing, the process to claim the £50 trade in on any phone (that is on their data base and has a value> zero pounds!!!)
    Go through the trade-in valuation, don't enter any code.
    Complete the deal online.
    Wait for the confirmation email.
    Ring the Recycle team customer service and tell them what you've done and why.
    They will manually note that this phone is on its way to them and the discount to be applied.
    Send the phone by post.
    Wait til you have received email confirmation that the phone has arrived.
    Phone Customer Services again and they will then do what is required to action the £50 cashback.

    What an unbelievable mess of a system.
    I will update when I have received the email confirming delivery and spoken to them again.
    angie555's avatar
    And how do we send the phone do we pay for postage ourselves
    Having great difficulty getting phones accepted
  12. J_Duff's avatar
    Had my claim approved. I cancelled my contract with O2 the day I received the phone. Only provided 3 pieces of evidence...

    1. Contract Summary (pdf received in email after purchase)
    2."Get excited. Your order's on its way." email
    3. Screenshot of IMEI (which I realised after sending shows my new carrier name at the top!)

    Seems fairly simple and straight-forwards really.

    Is the value of the guaranteed trade-in, only deducted from the cost of the air time plan?
    V6ALFISTI's avatar
    O2 seem to give this as a credit or BACS transfer according to the O2 trade in site. Just be careful though, as for some phones they offer such a low amount, even with the £50 extra it's less than you would get on ebay. Plus it seems with some phones they just flat out refuse to take them, despite saying "any phone"
  15. pharmc's avatar
    When I click the link and scroll down to prebuilt plans, the 2GB option it's coming up at £10 upfront and £16pm? What am I missing here please 🙈

  18. ando's avatar
    Maybe you could add some more info so people know to buy the phone outright as some appear to be selecting higher monthly plans and not the o2 refresh, I'll admit I got caught by it first as there's that much information for each tariff on screen

    NVM guess the post was updated at some point and I missed it (edited)

    Which receipt does one show to claim the Fitbit watch?
    I havent been sent one by O2
    bargainhunter007's avatar
    48959366_1.jpgI wonder if we can use this as receipt, which is received with the phone?

    Also you can still do the trade-in even after you have bought the phone. See the details below

    Deal now ended 7th December. 
    p3108's avatar
    £363 device cost now and Fitbit Versa offer added. T&C's on Fitbit Versa on contract states - 'Change of mind policy applies to Qualifying Purchase and Gift as a bundle. If you return the Qualifying Purchase without the Gift you will be charged the standard retail price for the Gift.'

    Buying the phone on PAYG doesn't qualify for the Versa. The Claim T&C's has O2 as Contract Only retailer rather than SIM Free.

    It will be very interesting to see if anyone managed to claim the Versa on a £258.60 6a if they cancel the airtime before the Claim is approved.

    Not like me to sit this one out but I got hacked off with O2 on this deal that I posted at £270.60 with a prepaid MasterCard of £100 when nobody was receiving the confirmation email regarding the MasterCard within 14 days when that was the T&C's and it was necessary to spend a lot of time and faff chasing the confirmation email. I'd almost suggest that O2 Refresh deals offering anything other than the device outright should not be allowed due to their non-performance on that deal.
  23. airbus330's avatar
    Had a chat with O2 Refresh this morning. I'm currently unable to get the order number to activate the £50 discount for the trade-in phone. Customer service rep informed me that there was currently a software glitch which was not recognising the order numbers as promo codes and that it affected other deals. Advice was to keep trying as it randomly works.
    Also, when entering an IMEI number into Refresh, if that number isn't on their database then effectively you can't trade the phone. Technically. you can ask them to put the phone type onto their database, but I was told that the delay on doing this would be very long.
    Also, if you are trading an iPhone, if you can't remove Findphone and reset the device, they won't trade it.

    All in all, this does look like another O2 deal where there are traps and small print issues. Now, having read the last few posts, there is a question over getting the Versa if you cancel the airtime contract.

    Also, the trade-in phone value must be greater than 0.00.

    The John \Lewis deal looks more transparent to me with hindsight . (edited)
    p3108's avatar
    The John Lewis deal is more transparent as you get the Fitbit delivered without having to make a claim for it. It costs £399 though but if you have a trade-in device then that improves.
  24. newb's avatar
    @airbus330 it took me a few attempts to get the imei to be recognised, then when it was, the condition questions didn't appear.
    Now, as others had previously reported the order number isn't any good: 'Voucher code not valid'
    lu408's avatar
    Have the same 'Voucher code not valid', and also should we keep the contact for two months for the Fitbit? Is Refresh 30 days rolling contract?
  25. Darklamb's avatar
    is there a minimum value for a trade in device. I got quoted £1 for a broken screen j3. Don't know if they will dock more off.

    Jbl_123's avatar
    In exactly the same boat as you pal, can't justify the outlay for not that much better specs with this pixel or rivals.

    Paid less than £250 for my p30 pro on a refresh deal in 2019 and still does what I need it to do.

    May just stick a fresh battery in it when Huawei are running an offer on servicing and then keep it going for another 2 years
