Is anyone able to make successful payment using curve fronted to their credit card?
My recent experience is
1) Many providers have started blocking Curve BIN
2) Where it may work the underlying card provider will apply “cash like” transaction fees.
I see this as end of road for me. Will give it few more days but otherwise do not see the point of having this card anymore.
Same here. Their USP is gone.
With apple pay you dont even need curve to do an all in one card thing anymore
Works for me every month paying off my Amex
We get one of these threads every month and everyone would be well advised not to fall for it.

Fall for what? Taking an anecdote from the internet and getting stung with cash advance charges?

Some of them are from Reddit etc fishing for information.
@BWS, true.
@roger – which cards have applied a fee for using Curve in this way? (Apart from the ones we know about already, e.g. Virgin)
