Halifax Clarity Reward card no more?

I'm looking for a good cashback card and the MSE guide lists the Halifax Clarity rewards card as a best buy.

But when I clicked on the link Halifax have no reference to any cashback deal whatsoever:think:

Am I not looking in the correct place or have Halifax pulled the deal?

    Think you need a reward current account and then to spend £300 a month to get a £5 reward on the clarity.

    You can only apply for Halifax Clarity Reward card in branch. Online application is only for Halifax Clarity card without £5 reward. And yes you need to have Halifax Reward Current Account in order to apply in branch.

    Wrong.

    Wrong.
    And yes you need to have Halifax Reward Current Account in order to apply in branch.

    And, yes, wrong again.

    As has been posted many, many, many, many, many times before, there is only one Halifax Clarity card.

    Whether or not customers get the fiver reward depends on meeting the requirements in Section 11 of the T&Cs.

    Thanks for this. I found it now although I do find it quite bizarre that it's buried away within the T&C's without there being any mention of it product description page. Especially when it's the equivalent of over 1% cashback if you typically spend between 3-500 a month.

    It will be an expensive product to offer. They won't want to sing and dance about it now that interchange income has dropped.

    I'd not be surprised if the fiver is removed at some stage.

    Section 11.2 of the terms and conditions does look a bit ambiguous, there should presumably be an 'or' in there are there is an 'and' I'm section 11.1.
