That's the whole point. They want you to buy the product for £30 more than their competitors not £5 less. So they offer you £35 cashback on the assumption that only a tiny percentage of customers will struggle through the morass of phone lines, forms, and stupid conditions to actually claim their £35.
This sort of thing has been going on in America for years. Unfortunately, they're trying the came $h!t over here now. The only way to stop it is for everyone to make the effort and claim their cashback, or refuse to buy products where they make you jump through hoops to get a fair price. After all, if they want to sell it for £35 less, why not reduce the price.
Just my thoughts,
