Cash Incentive cards?

Anybody know any cards out there that give you a cash incentive after your first spend on them or after you've spent a certain amount on the card.

I know there's plenty out there that give miles/reward points but wondering if there were any still offering a cash sum ?

Virgin Money had one this summer (25 GBP cash reward) but looks like I missed out on that one as its no longer there !!

So if there are any others out there, please let me know.

    First Direct: £25 if you take and use one of our credit cards (subject to a minimum of three Apple Pay or Android Pay™ transactions within the first three months)

    Earlier this year it was £25 cash for just taking out the card, I'm guessing they are trying to push Apple Pay on users.


    Nationwide Select Credit Card used to be £25 cash so although they haven't got it running currently, worth keeping an eye on.

    I'm not sure about directly to the card, but some accounts pay affiliate commission for the application, which finalises after some spending, and it's possible to get part of this to come to you.

    Look for credit cards on referral sites like Topcashback or Quidco.
