Barclaycard Goldish £30 Offer - Question...

LewisB_2

I have got the Goldfish card come through the post. Need to spend £100 on it each month for 3/4 months...

I was wondering, could I just sign up to Paypal, transfer the £100 to my bank account, and then transer it back to the credit card?

If you aren't using paypal to make a purchase there is every chance that it may be treated as a cash advance which spells bad news. Factor in paypal take their fees for any card transaction too

Also, further to above post, you might be classed as laundering money. Im not too sure about the ins and outs of this but just be careful as this could be seen as slightly suspicious activity.

Much easier just to buy your shopping/petrol etc. on it for a month.

Same as the other post I just went on - you could but it costs 3.4% - with this card you get a 10% return so it's potentially worth it.

Surely you spend £100 a month on stuff anyway though?
