Halifax Clarity Credit Card Cashback

alfajerry

We have ordered Clarity cards but we are not going abroad in the near future.
Can anyone suggest a way to get the cashback?

Thanks,
Jerry

Not sure if it would work, but could you buy something online in a foreign currency ( maybe one of the "foreign" Amazon sites ) ? According to their website :


"The £20 cashback will only apply on the first purchase transaction in a foreign currency made by 30th September 2017"


Of course, this might mean buying something you don't really want or need - so you'd have to weigh up whether the cost ( including postage fees ) is worth it just for the sake of £20.

Thanks, seems possible.
Maybe Etsy too, a lot of US sellers on there.
Does anyone know if this would work?
Or would there be some sort of conversion to pounds before billing?

I don't know about Etsy, but it is definitely possible to make non-sterling purchases on Amazon or EBay/PayPal. They will try to steer you towards accepting their own conversion to sterling at poor rates but it's possible to avoid this. You might have to study the screen closely to find a well concealed link.

Thanks for that.
I think I'll only try it if it's an item I'd buy anyway.

There are lots of items on the US and Canadian eBay at US$0.99 or CA$0.99, including delivery (all from China or HK, so the postage is the same regardless of destination country).

Good point.
Thanks.
