    Some cards have ‘Spend £70, get £15 back, three times’.

    Others have ‘Spend £100, get £20 back, once’.

    There are several versions of the offer. Some are one-time only, some are 3 times.

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

    There are three flavours of offer, one of them (£15 back when you spend £70) can be used 3x.
    The others are one time only.

    Re others asking about refunds. If there’s a refund, I’d expect the credit to be taken back, and not automatically work with a subsequent transaction, but chat might look favourably on you with a manual credit e.g. if the initial retailer refunded due to an inability to fulfil the purchase.

    My wishcard transaction posted over a week ago and still no credit. Wondering if i’s a wishcard issue?

    I have the “Spend £100 get £20 back, Once” on both gold card and supp, have used both and both have given the credit. However, the offer is still in the offers section when with other offers it has disappeared as soon as triggered. Havn’t tried it again as about to cancel the card but have it on both BA cards so will see what happens there if I use it a second time.

    Same.
    I also used an additional Amex card (but on the same primary account as the Wishcard transaction) with M&S paypal, on the same day, credited 3 days later with a used offer email immediately.

    Same for me, bought 3 £25 gift cards with them last week and no email nor credit posted yet.

    Mine triggered with wishcard within 3 days. It is worth chasing that up with them I believe

    Not sure if anyone else has tested the theory but may give it a go!

    Have the offer over a few cards and wondering if you used the Paypal Credit function and made the repayments across several cards you could trigger multiple bonuses for the one item?

    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.

    Interesting but as mark2 says it’s a mystery how they do or don’t post statement credit

    Still waiting for mine from Sunday night – last one took a week or so

    I’ve not used Paypal credit for some time but I do not remember having the option to repay it using credit cards, I think it was direct debit from linked bank account and/or from paypal balance if available.

    I ordered 1x£100 and 3x£70 airbnb gift cards. Codes all arrived and my Airbnb credit is now £310. Paypal then reversed one of the £70 transactions as suspected fraud…so now I have paid £240 minus the credits…for £310 of airbnb credit.

    Not sure what to do – Paypal’s systems are so poor, the resolution centre only allows me to report fraud and I can’t find an email address!

    Dumb Q

    Who did you order from so that Paypal is an option to pay?

    Not finding anyone so far.

    But thanks anyway.

    So I am not convince accumulate spend works on the 70/15 offer. It has been several days and all my other paypal uses credit has paid out. As others reported it appears to work on the 100/20 one. Any other data points? Does Rob need to update his post?

    I’m still waiting on any of mine to credit across multiple cards, but it’s been generally painful recently for offers to track & credit.

    So across various cards:

    I should have triggered 12 x credits – all friends and family payments.

    Only 5 have credited. The other 7 haven’t.

    No rhyme or reason why some would credit and some wouldn’t.

    Presumably it’s not worth chasing as the Live Chat agent will only fob me off with ‘wait 90 days’ blah blah blah?

    I done 3x F&F but never got any triggering it. I wonder if they ‘closed’ that method as people defo got ones awarded at the beginning of the offer

    God knows why you lot just can’t do natural spend between now and the end of October, such as overpaying your BT bills etc to the value of the offers. Why complicate it by attempting dodgy payments that may not work or get you closed down? There is absolutely no need for all that nonsense with this offer.

    I am all topped up with my bills like BT already with an AMEX offer or I would
