Does anyone know who accepts under £1 debit card transactions

KJ2009

Strange question I know but I have discovered a little blip with my debit card. Any transaction under £1 doesn't register for 48 hours and I am really skint this week. I know ASDA and TESCO accept under £1 transactions. Does anyone know any others? I only have 99p on my card but can spend that over and over again for 2 days (Its deducted when some money is paid in.

Coop, but I really think youre pushing your luck.

Love this attitude towards money.

I hope you don't shout at the poor Bast£rd on the phone when you get charged more than £1 for going overdrawn due to poor management of money.

AFAIK, anywhere that accepts debit cards will accept a transaction of under £1, unless there's an explicit minimum limit set. The only places I've seen impose minimum limits are places like pubs/bars and small businesses. I don't think I've ever seen a major retailer impose a limit.

Not really convinced about this while 48 hour thing as a way to manage money.

Primark does.

Yes, you do have to be careful with this one... Not all places will do Offline transactions with Offline debit cards..

And if you ask Mary on Checkouts I doubt she would know either...

Have you discovered this "little blip" only works on a weekend, or 7 days a week?

It can also be classed as fraud, as you are knowing spending money that you 100% dont have in the account.

I think this is a fantastic idea and with such a responsible attitude to finance I do not see any downside from this whatsoever.

Protip: set up 2 paypal accounts and then use some automated program to send yourself 1,000,000 99p transactions.
Make £1,000,000 in a day.

Problems?

lidl does too

hmm if i spend under £1 it appears in 3 working days time and reflects the avaliable balance (unless if i were overdrawn for spending money i didnt have)
