    Final update for today (hopefully!) - MBNA are looking into refunding the cashback that I should have got and speaking to their marketing team about either changing their codes or changing their product information as it's clearly misleading. I should be getting a phone call tomorrow to confirm what they've done. Thanks to everyone for their help!

    ETA - OllyM, just seen your post and I did phone up specifically to complain. They were very helpful so I think that if others have a similar problem they should probably do the same to 'encourage' MBNA to sort this out.

    The problem is that Asda's home shopping is registered to their head office, Asda House, and MBNA won't recognise that as a store.
    Well they clearly did at some point...
    At time of writing they included the physical and/or online grocery stores of Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, Waitrose, Ocado
    ...and that should form the basis of any complaint made.

    If it's never been recognised they'll get a reprimand from the powers that be...and rightly so!

    has anyone else noticed how the cashback payment each statement is slightly less than 1.5% (assuming all your transactions are eligible for the higher rate).

    it's always a few pence less than 1.5% of the total, anyone know why this is??
