..."Classic Plus contactless cashback

If you've been using a Classic Plus contactless card to earn cashback in September, we'll pay it into your account by the end of October.
5% cashback is available on the first £100 you spend on qualifying purchases each calendar month
Continue earning cashback every month until the end of December 2016
Cashback on your qualifying purchases will be paid by the end of the following calendar month."

So it looks like the window is by calendar month, not account statement date. Only spent about £70 this month, drat...

i saw that when i logged in earlier too. so yes, looks like calendar month cashback allocations.. and i haven't hit £100 either.
bearing in mind that to get 5% interest you have to be paperless, i'm not sure what the statement dates even are... i don't seem to be getting online statements produced, which i could print, i would need to select the specific dates i wanted to print and create a statement that way. can we get statements generated which match the cashback dates? that'd be neater.

Why are people surprised that the cashback is per calendar month? It's not as if they'd been hiding the info.

2.1 5% cashback is available on the first £100 you spend on qualifying purchases each calendar month.

My second contactless card is en route after a formal complaint. To be fair, the person who phoned was incredibly polite and profusely apologised for her colleagues' statements that all students are an overdraft risk and therefore are not allowed a second contactless card - she had listened to the recorded call.

In fact, there is a button all along to order a new - not replacement - card, which they will apparently receive training on where to find She did also give me a bit of compensation but I didn't ask for it or anything.

Swat. :T

Or is it four eyes, for being so sharp eyed?

Look on it as: "What a shame it wasn't statement date, because I would have a few more days to spend up to £100."

As interest is always payable on the first of every month, I have always assumed the 'statement date' was the calendar month anyway, same as Lloyds?

Not sure what either of those are. Maybe he meant 'swalk'?

Yes

I was thinking it can't be SWOT,
which is Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat.

But then SWAT is taken too.

Interest is paid on the first working day of the month.
