Curve Card technique - withdraw cash on any credit card with no fee

On the home screen where your balance is shown, do you have a + next to it? Tap that and I get these options to add money:

Debit card
Transfer
Switch

Choose debit card and can then add between £50 and £250 per day.

I only get the Transfer and Switch Options. I've only had the app/account for a couple of months so maybe this is a recent change?

Could be, I've had mine for nearly a year. I did read on another site that Monzo used to allow debit card top ups and then removed the feature, could be that Starling is heading that way too.

I can't see the option on my starling.

Anyone used a CC via Curve to pay HMRC?

I wonder what is what is the advantage of linking Monzo and Curve card for topup ?

If it is a reward credit card where you get rewards (say 0.5%) for tops up (and withdraw it again from cash machine) it is easy to understand as you will get 0.5% cash. But I understand Monzo does not offer any rewards, so what I have been missing here ??.

Not linking Monzo and Curve but a cashback credit card and Curve then using Curve to deposit money to a bank account. There is no guarantee it will work without incurring a fee or breaking terms and conditions of Curve card.

Yes, it's worked fine when I have used it for this purpose.

Thanks for clarification. As this is about using curve to make extra cash I previously thought you were referring to Monzo in relation to this.

FP for Monzo, Starling, is not bad it is just take less than half day to arrive. I am aware that with debit card it is almost instant so it is also my favourable way to add fund.

Paying HMRC worked fine for me too

Anyone know if depositing to Monzo using a CC with Curve still works?
