A few questions regarding this.

Is this deal still running?

Does Dick Smith participate in this?

If I have a proof of purchase, can I go back to DSE and request, say, a $100 topup to accompany the purchase of my Ideos, as if I'd gotten a $100 topup in the first place, thus getting $100 off said Ideos?

I doubt the last one, but if anyone knows, some confirmation would be nice before I go and embarrass myself at DSE ;)

Don't know if it's still going, but you have to buy the top up and they take that off the phone, at the time of purchase. (Not buying the phone and then buying the top up)

Yeah, thought so :(
When I got it, I remembered literally two hours after leaving the store (by then I'd been in Foxton some time) that such a deal existed. It was quite saddening. :\

Sadly, the deal finished on Jan 10th.
I hope they bring it back when they introduce the new Huawei X5 and X6 phones.

Yep - definitely finished. Originally was going to finished Dec 31st-ish, then extended to Jan 10th.
