If upgrading a cheeky ask for can I have the new customer deal if I commit to the same new contract can often result in a happy wallet.

but as I wrote elsewhere in this thread, "I rather doubt anyone in Plus.Net will authorise a deal worth a total of 150 quid" (the amount new customers could achieve with cashback in January if they switched)...

Very much a case of "Don't ask, Don't get". Perhaps they like my voice
The COT guys are pretty sensible and have a fair bit of discretion.

Isn't the idea generally of cashback sites to get new customers to a company - if you have previously visited the companies website and there are cookies or traces then the cashback wouldn't work. So, the cashback site is there to find the company?
If that is the case then it would suggest they are not designed for existing customers to get new deals because the customer already knows the company exists. I am aware that this can work but it seems to go against the general ethos of the sites?

I have visited a few times and my TCB as tracked (new customer)

OK, change my "wouldn't" to "may not". I believe the advice generally is to clear cookies/history before signing up to a cashback to give the best chance of it tracking?

Yes they do advise that but in all the years i have used it, i have never had one that never tracked the same day.

I would suspect that is the theory, but I don't think that is how it operates via "retained-cookies" (or similar).
Previously I've looked at the info on a specific site, but then placed the actual order via a cash-back site - with no problems.

Some companies encourage upgrades through cashback sites, Sky do for example. I got 50 quid through quidco when upgrading from Sky bb unlimited to Sky fibre unlimited.
