If you apply for one of O2's Cash Manager pre-pay debit card, and set up a regular top-up for £50 or more for 2 consecutive months, they will credit you with £5.

There doesn't seem to be any obligation to spend on that card, so after you top up with the cash, just withdraw it again at an ATM :j

    Will application result in a credit file search?

    It doesn't actually say you can't withdraw it straight after your deposit. I imagine you could leave £5 on it after withdrawing £45 the day after you made your 1st and 2nd regular deposit?

    If you look in the FAQ...

    [URL="javascript:showHide('howdy7text','howdy7title','howdy7arrow');"]Will I get credit-checked? [/URL] No, it is not necessary. Your O2 Money card is not a credit card and is designed so you can't overspend more than you've put on it.

    Think i'll give it a week or so and see if any additional incentive appears on the cashback sites :D

    Not a bad idea. I was considering just using the card for my Aldi shop, as they don't accept credit cards :-)
