Last week, online shopping network Quidco offered UK buyers £120 of cashback on purchases of certain Surface Book models from the Microsoft Store. That deal has since ended, but in its place, it"s now offering a much wider selection of limited-time cashback deals.
Here"s what"s available, including the cashback for each product, and how that cashback works out as a percentage of the retail price:
Product | Retail price | Cashback | Cashback % |
Visual Studio Professional 2015 | £506 | £100 | 19.7% |
Surface Pro 4 Intel Core i7 | £1,299 £1,449 £1,799 | £100 £100 £100 | 7.7% 6.9% 5.6% |
Lumia 950 Lumia 950 XL | £319 £399 | £30 £30 | 9.4% 7.5% |
Office 365 one-year subscription - Personal - Home | £59.99 £79.99 | £30 £30 | 50% 37.5% |
Windows 10 Pro licence | £189.99 | £35 | 18.4% |
Xbox Elite Controller with Play & Charge Kit | £134.98 | £20 | 14.8% |
Xbox One Elite Bundle | £399.99 | £40 | 10% |
The cashback offer on the Lumia 950 and 950 XL is particularly notable, given that Microsoft slashed its prices for the two Windows 10 Mobile flagships yesterday, by £80 and £70 respectively, and is also offering both of them with a free Display Dock and one-year Office 365 Personal subscription.
You"ll need a free Quidco account to take advantage of those offers. Once you"re signed up, click through to the Microsoft Store from this page, so that your purchase will be tracked by Quidco. The company estimates that the cashback from these purchases will be paid into Quidco accounts by the end of July, after which it can be withdrawn to a bank or PayPal account, or converted to Amazon Gift Cards.
The deals highlighted above are only available for a short time, so if you"re thinking of going for any of them, don"t wait too long.
