    My other half has an 1% Cashback card with C1. She received a letter today stating cashback ending on 31/05.

    I have a lumia card - Nothing received for me so far.

    By the way, the letter I posted above was for a Luma card.

    Interesting, threads are apparently unmonitored but an admin modified my post double quicktime

    Time to put the tinhat on
    Probably the same over efficient admin that "accidently" deleted the first thread.;)

    Strange - my letter says my cashback is being reduced, not removed. Falling to 0.25%...

    That's not enough to justify keeping the card so will be ditching it once the cashback is paid.
    If I had a pound for every time I didn't play the lottery...

    That's a good question - I'm not exactly sure!

    I've looked at my statements and online account and it doesn't say. My card itself is black and says "platinum" on it.

    I've had it a fair while. I'm not sure where I'll be able to get a 1% amex backup anymore :(

    Does this apply to all Capital One Cards as I've not had a letter yet and I've got a holiday to pay for?

    Then, if you can afford to, pay for it before the end of May!

    thanks MrChips.. if it was paying 1% as standard then it would be Aspire or Aspire Business, i think:think:
