Mbna Homebase Spend&save Points

themongoose_2

Long time since I was last here, hope you are all as useful as you used to be.

I recently bought a car for about £10K using an MBNA HOMEBASE credit card.

....Don't worry I was helping out my dad who had a cash flow problem at the time and he paid it back in full before the statement date....

But I have noticed a line on my credit card statement that I didn't understand, it says: 9,439.00 TR TO SPEND&SAVE

So I rang MBNA and asked them what it meant and they said that I have now got all those points in my spend&save account and I can use them like cash at homebase. They gave me a card number but I don't know what to do with it.

I have done some research but cannot find what I am supposed to do to "get" the points or see what they are worth. I found something that says the points are only awarded upto a transaction value of £750, but that seems to apply when buying at homebase with the spend&save card which I didn't do.

I am really confused.

Do any of you know if there is somewhere I login and see a statement and can I exchange these points for anything other than homebase products?

Do you have a Homebase Spend & Save loyalty card?

In which case, make sure that the card is registered and linked to your credit card.

You should get vouchers sent to you in January for the points you have earnt.

If 'mongoose' has managed to buy a car on his credit card without a charge -and get points he's onto something!

I too asked to pay for a new car using my credit card, to take advantage of the card 1% 'cashback'. The credit card company OK'd it, but the car dealership added a charge of 2.5% to offset the amount card companies charge the retailer. This placed me on a loser- 1% cashback minus 2.5% charges.
However after a phone call to check my credit, they accepted my HSBC switch card.
