Curve Card

didn't heard about that, maybe after launch if you wanna have more limits they will do checks? so i would assume is just a survey to select potential customers at this point get a referral link to save 10 on Facebook.

Just reading about this at http://www.headforpoints.com/2016/02/18/curve-card-reviewed-how-it-works/ and this sounds too good to be true.

In theory you could

1) withdraw cash from your cards and keep in bank account and pay in full... Rinse and repeat

2) my Hhonors card gives me gold status at Hilton hotels if I spend £10k a year, I could just withdraw a couple of grand per month via curve ( counts as a purchase) then again pay in full every month, rinse and repeat again

3) any other card that gives loyalty points for anything would work as point number 2 above? Even Cashback on purchases ?

Am so tempted to sign up and test....

You could, but you'd quickly find your card gets blocked/barred from ATM transactions.

Agreed. I think there's a 'fair usage' clause somewhere in the T&C's.

Has anyone received their Curve card yet?

Not for me yet but they have not debited my account with the issuing fee.

Yup, exactly the same here. I was kind of hoping someone would say they've received their card as it's been advertised as being sent out 'towards the end of March'...

Looks like people are getting them... five randomly selected posts from Twitter:

Thanks!

That sounds promising then. Look forward to receiving mine as have some non-Amex spend coming up that would be great to put on my Amex using Curve.

Damn ...No massage parlours.

For gambling, you could still buy lottery tickets at Tescos.

Also, damnit, missed out on the £10 referral thing... didn't see it until now.
