Hi all
Does anyone know if usage via Curve in a foreign currency counts toward the introductory bonus (£3k spend over 3 months?)
Secondly, will Barclaycard charge for any cash point withdrawals, either in GBPs or a foreign currency, via Curve?
Thanks
1) should count to the intro bonus, dont see why not
2) no, do you have a paid curve? check their terms
Thanks for prompt reply.
I don’t have a paid for Curve but you get a limited free amount anyway. I was more asking about whether Barclaycard, not Curve, would implement a change for ATM use, when using Curve.
It didn’t charge anything back in May, the last time I tried it. If you want to know, there’s nothing better than trying it.

Have done it a few times but I wasn’t sure if it would be obvious until I got my statement. I made the mistake of topping up my Revolut through HSBC Premier Credit card and ended up getting stung by a charge, despite topping it up with my Lloyds Avios MasterCard (as was) and paying nothing for it. I only found out on statement issue!
@rui N.
Do you mean for withdrawals? Thanks
No problems or fees when using Curve when I did it. (Well, not from Barclaycard anyway.)
Barclaycard charged me 2.99% cash fee for a PayPal payment using curve (it was person to person transfer). Any experience if Barclaycard would refund the fee if I went back in time and moved the transaction to a debit card?
You can try but if it doesn’t work I honestly wouldn’t poke BC unless you really need the money back, just rack it up to experience and don’t do it again. They do seem sensitive to certain Curve uses.
