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

Just came here to say just recived my first £100 cashback for the first year then found it's closing. Annoying!

Luma 4% cashback card for anyone looking for a new one.

Looks like I will stick with my Barclaycard cashback (1%) for everything and the Luma for the 4% on fuel/supermarket.

My average monthly expenditure on supermarket shopping and petrol is only ~£100 so even at 4% I could only get ~£50 a year. I'd also lose the extra clubcard points I get for using my Tesco credit card.

Only on groceries; you could still earn 1% (Tesco Clubcard) + 4% (Luma) on petrol if you presented both cards.

Sorry I was only talking about groceries there. There's only one major supermarket in Guildford (Tesco) and it doesn't have a petrol station...which means petrol prices here are always a few pence per litre more than in the surrounding areas.

I don't spend much on petrol anyway. In the last year I spent £290, so 4% would be £11.60. Not really worth it.

Nevertheless, 4% > 1% (even just on groceries) :beer:

I'm a bit worried that they don't just switch the cards...it will be a full new credit check and a new application for a card - and my 0% balance transfer Virgin money card runs out in february, then I'll need to apply for a new card somewhere anyway.
Luckily I'm going abroad before January and then possibly not for a year again, so could always reapply for a 0.5% cashback Aqua card at a later time, when the Virgin card is paid off.
It was great while it lasted indeed!

Are you sure ?

I was under the impression that the new card was only available to those transferring to it from the existing card, and not to 'new' customers ?

Disappointing to see the offer coming to an end but it was always going to be a relatively short term deal. At least me and my other half have both had £100 last year and should reach the £100 this year too before 22nd January.

One positive to come from it of course is that we'll be receiving this year's £200 in early February instead of August

I have just received my statement with £100 cashback on it. :j :money: I was thinking that this card was too good to be true and now I have to find out on here that it is closing - when did eveyone get informed and was it by letter as I haven't received any notification yet? :eek:
