TightwadsThere's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.
Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

Don't count your chickensMost of these mobile cashback deals are frauds or, at best, so insanely complicated that it is near impossible to get the money. Typical tricks include demanding that the first twelve bills are submitted within twelve months of the contract starting and even if you manage they they are likely just not-to-receive-them. Guv.
That said, flogging the upgrade phone has always struck me as a Sound Scheme.

Which is whyI only do it with reputable national companies like onestopphoneshop & e2save who are both owned by carphone warehouse.
Plus this is the 3rd year I've successfully done it. 6 weeks time I'll be starting my 4th year.
Oh, and I always send them recorded delivery with a backup sent by fax.

Great plan but...Also some luck?
I tried the cashback thing with e2save a few years back and never got a penny back from them. They refused to answer my letters or emails of complaints, and wouldn't deal with me via the phone. They also subscribed me for phone insurance after I had explicitly instructed them that I did not want phone insurance, which I could only then cancel with a months notice in writing.
