MSE News: RBS axes its YourPoints credit card reward scheme: Are you hit?

username

I've switched to a Lloyds Amex card (no fee, and Avios rewards).

How have you managed to get the fee free Lloyds Amex? All I can see are the fee paying ones on their website

RBS Yourpoints website hasn't worked all day!

Fair comment - looks like they now have an annual fee of £24. Back when I got mine, there was no fee. They're all at it - my Natwest card (for Yourpoints) was free when I took it out, but they introduced all kind of fees and conditions for new customers over the year.

Just shows - it's getting very hard to get a free lunch / benefit / Avios :>((

Just contacted Natwest and they know nothing about this part of the article?

"Bizarrely, from 1 July YourPoints customers who have in the past accrued £100 of interest per year after not repaying their bills in full, will start getting 0.5% cashback on purchases. RBS says this is based on assessment of "past behaviour" and isn't something customers can become eligible for following the closure of the scheme."

Anyone else had this problem or did this never exist?

I was wondering what happens if you have points left that aren't enough to get a voucher? Even the new cash option (which is a bit of a scam anyway because it's at half the rate) needs a minimum of 1000 points. I know it will only be worth a couple of pounds but it's my couple of pounds!

Same here, not enough points in the pot to allow voucher or cash, How many of their customers are "donating" their few pounds back to RBS? Mines worth 1250 points, about £6. Multiply that by number of customers also unable to claim.

What I'd like to see RBS to say that those lost value points can be donated to a charity of choice instead...(and show the evidence they carried it out).

YP says I need 2000 points to get £5, no other options for my 1300 points
