    I only have one card sitting behind curve now, the Virgin one, and I recently got the card renewed – after adding and veryifying it through Curve every single transaction has been declined. No response from customer service chats.
    My question really is it worth even bothering with Curve – apart from fee free transactions and withdrawals overseas I can see no advantage, and I have a Nationawide Flexplus for that??

    If you have Curve Metal, you can pay your American Express Card(s) with Curve using the fronted option with the Virgin card as underlying.

    Curve is a hit or miss sometimes.

    Handy for using cards like the IHG which didn’t support Apple Pay

    Thnaks but the virgin card is being declined and my IHG card has been cancelled, so I guess the answer is it is totally useless LOL!

    Any idea if Curve Fronted works well with Barclaycard? What are the fees like for this?

    I thought Curve and IHG parted ways last year, when IHG and several of us did?!
    Not much I can think of that I use Curve for while I also have Revolut.

    Same Q here: Curve Metal backed by the Nor’pton Avios Plus? Does it work?

    Not for me. I have another card which doesn’t natively support Apple Pay so it still allows me to use it and get a couple of % cashback on most transactions
