Aqua Reward Credit Card - 3% cashback up to £100/year

blitzboy

Just re-registered both me and the other half, no problems whatsoever. Site seems to work much better than the old one too.

Anyone started earning their 2nd year cashback yet?

Did aqua announce if they are continuing with the 3% Cashback or is that being changed? Since they have pulled new application for the card?

No they haven't announced anything, and haven't hinted at announcing anything. Cards can run for a long time without accepting new applicants e.g. Santander Zero, old Capital One Aspire World (which does not have the same conditions as the new one).

Changes to any T+Cs have to be conveyed to all cardholders in advance of a change. That will be the point at which to ditch and switch.

If they don't change anything then my presumption is that the "annual" cashback continues, although it's harder to find the details now the card isn't being offered.
I don't think we'll know for a short while because the cashback is only shown on statements so we'll have to wait for the first statement for confirmation.

No, the time to ditch and switch would be is just after they've paid the cashback to your account and you've spent it. Doing anything else would mean you'll lose the cashback.

I expect them to drop the 3% within a few months., However you'd still have to wait till your next anniversary date, for them to credit it.

As for their admin - its run on their behalf by Halifax. Guess they've make Aqua the lowest priority as its aimed at the lower end of the market, who should be grateful to have a card at all (not my thoughts but i expect its theirs).

Hurray! On the third day I finally managed to login.

Guess what? A much anticipated error now happens when I try to see a statement. Hardly a surprise that it just throws me out and I have to login again.

Hope they reach my account soon. I'm itching to see what's behind that log in screen.

Agreed. When (or if - I have no idea) they removed the cashback. We will know this at the time because they will inform us of changes to the T+Cs as required.

The point is that there is no point speculating about what may or may not happen to the conditions of a card when there are only internet rumours to fuel such claims.

Do we all have to re register now before we can log in - or is it simply a matter of keep trying to get logged in ?

Wait... did I miss something? Do I have to register with their new site a second time? I already registered once, and I know they have my login details on file, because I get a "credentials not on file" (not exact text) message when I input them wrong. I get the website unexpected error only when I input them right.
