    i have this card. it is good. but watch out. they round down. if you spend 123.49, you will get back (at 1%) only 12p.

    personally, i think they should wait until the end of the year, add up your total spend, and give you the cashback on that figure.

    Whilst I agree re. whole £'s, 1% of £123.49 should be £1.23 free money, surely?

    I don't believe you have to (I never had) although might be a jolly good idea.

    I believe it goes to 0.5% first and is only paid on £s.
    Hence once I get through the promotional period I go onto Egg at a flat 1% (although don't let it go dormant).



    English people.
    I'm not being racist but foreign accents can be difficult (and that includes Newcastle).

    Stuff the poser value.

    Finally, I must say I've never spoken to anyone with an English accent - one was Swiss, the other Italian, but they've all been pleasant, intelligent and easy to understand.

    One other question - if I take the card out under my name will my wife also be able to use it at the supermarket? I would do it in both names but my credit limit is better than hers ;)

    Thanks in advance for replies ;)

    Ask for an additional card for your wife. All spending will be on your account, and your responsibility.
