    The last time I did this was at the beginning of March.
    £200 withdrawn from a Barclays ATM, Barclaycard Cashback underlying. No charges.

    Just to update for anyone coming to this thread from the sticky post in the Stoozing forum, this trick no-longer works, at least for free-tier Curve users. 

    The new terms and conditions that came into effect in November 2023 removed the fee-free monthly £200 ATM withdrawal. All ATM withdrawals are now charged at 2% or £2, whichever is greater.
