    For new customers there is currently £20 cashback when you make a purchase in a foreign currency:

    Is there a small foreign purchase that could be made (e.g. online) in the UK for those not going abroad before the deadline?

    Yes, I did that and got my £20 from Halifax.



    i went to ebay Canada, and used my usual eBay login, to buy a watch strap for less than a pound, from China which had worldwide shipping.


    Incidentally I've found that for small items from China eBay Australia, Canada, US .. etc ... can sometimes save a few pennies. Especially for low value items, as eBay UK has a 99p lower limit for BIN .. whereas, for instance, in US the limit is $0.99
