Any thoughts, signed up, for fun linked to Curve and it came up as a Santander card! Debit card with 0.5% cashback – £20 cashback a month. I can’t find the T+Cs though
I’m still on waitlist – didn’t even realise it was out
How do you get the card, I can only see waitlist as well?
Joined the waitlist and got notified I could setup the account a couple of days back
Just got my one

I think we should ask ERNIE 🤣
Just made a test payment to HMRC, seems to work fine. Comes up as personal debit card.
Usually the point is whether the underlying card charges you anything, I guess.
There is no underlying card

do you get the 0.5% cashback for paying HMRC? Since Curve limited fronted to £3k per month, I’ve been looking for an alternative card to funnel the excess through
I’m assuming so, but don’t know for certain yet
With cashback capped at £20/month and HMRC as an excluded merchant along with other obvious ‘cash’ type categories, this card doesn’t sound too exciting. The ‘waiting list’ is a good way to grab attention through.
Where does it say HMRC is excluded, I haven’t seen any terms for the card? Will be totally useless for me if so

These are the terms which have a link to the excluded merchants.

Thanks, will have a read
Oh wow, that’s quite the list. What a waste of time.
Why do they exclude all this stuff, do card companies get smaller fees for certain types of transaction?

They have a budget for cash back incentives and need to focus it on real spending by real customers, not people who want to rinse large amounts of cash through with no actually interest in Trading 212.

I do hope not…That era of MS, the prepaid cards, savings accounts and Curve is definitely done now. I think the cashback card people have learned the hard way and talk to each other. With the right knowledge, individuals could draw tens, if not hundreds of thousands of pounds in cashback without limits. Curve’s debit card made it so easy to do MS that it caused upset with various financial institutions who have capped rewards earnings and increased the excluded transactions.
MS still very much exists, but in my opinion the game has evolved and moved away from topping up cards and savings accounts and withdrawing, apart from a few legacy routes which probably aren’t so attractive to everyone.
Routes like this T212 card, I can see clear ways to pocket that £20 despite the restrictions but it’s barely worth it!
