    Looking to prepay BT. Do they refund to same card if the contract ends?

    If you have a direct debit they’ll probably settle the final bill that way.

    That is exactly what they do.

    I’ve got the 3 x £70 offer. Was going to cancel my card but think I’ll prefund my BT account to the tune of £210 before I do so.

    Is this an offer you have to register on your card for? I can’t see it on mine…

    Yes, if it’s not in your list of available offers you haven’t been targeted or it’s reached its quota now, and so it’s not for you.

    Noticed on checkout that Specsavers take Paypal for contact lense orders.

    So just doubled my order to reach the £100 threshold, and have had the trigger email.

    My wife has halved her costs by switching to Lenstore.
    They take PayPal too

    I know Apple accepts PayPal, but are there limits on when PayPal can/can’t be used? I’m trying to purchase a new device and it stays PayPal isn’t a valid PayPal option. Thanks.

    It can take up to 90 days, so give it time.

    Once the transaction comes out of pending it will have PayPal at the start of the description of the transaction.

    You cannot as the counterparty facing Amex is PayPal.

    Fair dos. I’ll wait. I’m used to the offer going into the recently redeemed category or getting an email, even if the cash itself takes an age to arrive. Let’s see.

    Morning. Can anyone help? If I have triggered the PayPal offer twice ( and been credited already ) but for some reason the retailer has cancelled both my orders and refunded me now. If I then promptly spend the required amount with a different retailer will I still qualify for the cashback? Thank you

    Paid BT and Wish card on same day, using two different cards that had offers. BT triggered the offer immediately and posted credit next day. Still waiting for Wish card.

    The timing of statement credits is one of life’s great mysteries.

    I bought something online, which triggered the credit after a couple of days. However, I am going to return the goods. I take it that the credit will be removed. Does anyone have any idea or experience if the offer will then ‘reset’, to be used again?

    I doubt that it will reset, but you will soon see.
    Remember that you can use the offer three times on each card.

    Confused by some of the comments on here about the current £20 credit on £100 PayPal spend.

    My offer (on my BA premium Amex) clearly states “One time” in the header.

    Are people saying that you can actually use it 3 times on the same card?
