Cashback at supermarket

shootme

Hi. When you pay with a debit card at the supermarket and you get cash back, do you have to get amounts rounded to £10 like at the cash machine or can you get say £3.50?

Was just thinking this would be a good way to cut down on withdrawing too much cash. It really narks me when I have to withdraw a tenner and I only need a couple of quid because I know the rest will get frittered away.

I used to wok in the supermarket and the minimum we would give was £10 and the maximum £50.

i feel exactly the same.

In MY DAY you could withdraw £5.00 from the cashpoint. Bring back those days.

I've tried getting £1 cashback in the past (to replace the £1 coin I'd used on parking, which annoyingly they deduct off the debit card at the till) but was told £10 was the minimum.

Hi.

I work for Tesco and NO there is no minimum amount for cashback.

In fact you can do it 2 ways ..... say for example your shopping is £6.50 you can ask the cashier to make the payment up to say £10 and she will give you £3.50 change
or simply ask the cashier for the amount of cash you want and it can be as little as you like and up to £50

Hope this helps

Further to my post above

I have one gentleman comes through my till regularly and also makes his amount up to the nearest £10, asks for his cashback in £2 coins and saves them for him and his wife to go on a cruise at the end of each year

You can also withdraw any amount from the PO chp nd pin - it accepts most cards - useful if its your last £3.42 and u need it for busfare!

Only just managed to get back online so thank you everyone for your replies. I'll give it a try next time I go but that's a very helpful tip about the Post Office.

M+S can also give cashback for any amount, used to use it to get my last £3.50ish out of my account on many occasions.
