    Doesn't cashback go through lumped in with whatever you bought as a purchase? I.e. as far as your bank is concerned, you've just spend £50.49 in Tesco whereas you actually got £50 cash and bought a paper?

    In which case there shouldn't really be any limits other than the maximum Tesco will give out at any one time (but this is just me guessing!).

    Further to this accurate answer, you can also open another account with an ATM card and send a Faster Payment in to it. Then withdraw up to the ATM limit for that card.

    I knew there was a reason for having 3 vantage debit cards, when I only really use the one account day to day. :D

    When I did my main banking with Norwich and Peterborough, I pulled the max £250 from the cashpoint and then tried to get cashback at Sainsburys. The card was declined. On calling N&P, they advised that they count the cashback towards the cash withdrawal (not ATM) limit.

    Hope that helps anyone with N&P.

    YES. Usually £50.

    You could even do cashback a few times the same day.

    But be aware that could trigger a security alert.

    Some banks will allow you to increase your daily limit for a short period if you need to get more cash than your daily limit.
    Also joint acc, means each card has its own daily limit.
    Never ASSUME anything its makes a

  • Lloyds TSB have a daily ATM limit of £300 unless you have a Gold or higher AVA account in which case it's £500. It seems unlimited, to a reasonable level, at the counter. I took £1,500 out this way once.

    I thought cash backs were added as purchases so they avoided the daily cash withdrawal limits though.

    ltsb have given me up to £10k over the counter, best to book the funds in advance though so you don't end p with a mountain of 20s.
    I think....

    Thanks I had no idea you could increase your limit. I just called the bank and they said they can temporarily increase it. Thanks again!!
