Just a heads up for anyone in the UK, you can now get £100 cash back from qualifying retailers when you buy the mate 10 pro, this for me makes this the absolutely best flagship available

Currently as a Mate 9 owner I am so tempted.

Cash back..... Is it like a rebate?

Yep like rebate

[dpham00]

Yep like rebate

Ugh. I am not a fan of rebate deals because sometimes they try to find every little technical detail to deny you.

If that's the state's maybe, in the UK rules are far more strict so they have to give you your cash back once you follow the rules

It's a good deal for a great phone.

Think I will get one as a second phone to play with.

Trying to find what retailers are doing the deal.

Edit, turns out Amazon are doing it. Cool.

damn wish hope they offer this in the US

Not enough of an offer for the US.
You guys usually get bogof or a free pickup truck or something.

That's good to hear. Here they are legally required to honor the rebates, but if they don't then the government won't get involved, other than to act as the middle man. I contacted the attorney general when the rebate center refused to fulfill a rebate and all the attorney general did was to forward my complaint to them, and forward the response to me. They did pay up but if they didn't turn pretty much I would have to sue them.

Of course with enough complaints then the attorney general will investigate and can take action, but there's no guarantee of that

When you say amazon, you are referring to amazon uk, correct?

They probably would offer something, just don't know exactly what yet

Bogo is nice but usually requires a new line of service and bill credits.

Yes. Amazon in my country.

[brutos08]

Yep as Amazon is doing it in the UK might just add it to the Mate 9

[dpham00]

Yes. Amazon in my country.

Ok, just wanted to make sure, when I think amazon, I think amazon. Com in the usa since that's what I am used to

[dpham00]

They should add it to the mate 9 too to clear out stock for the mate 10

Having red the cashback offer, it's just send a proof of receipt from certain participating retailers in the UK such as CPW, they validate receipt and done cashback on the way.

So much so I bought the 10pro

[brutos08]

Yep its pretty straight forward.

[brutos08]

Just bought it from CPW

[Aneres11]

What are your guys thoughts on the Mate 10 Pro then? Or to early to tell?
Also, what were you using before?

Cheers

That's great to hear that the cash back offer is a smooth process, unlike what we see in the states

[brutos08]

Yep I had random reboots, I took it back to Carphone warehouse after about 18 months and they said they didn't know when they could fix it and offer me a S7 or some Sony Xperia phone both brand new, took the S7 couldn't be asked to wait. Google hardware still needs work hopefully third time lucky, this year.

[brutos08]

So far I am liking it more than my Mate 9, far easier to use.

It's pretty good that carfone warehouse took it back after 18 months and did a upgrade /different replacement and to a different brand . That would never happen at stores here.

Yeah in Europe you get very good consumer protection
