Imagine Curve Card - How did you select your Curve Rewards Retailers

OceanSound

You can select 3 retailers to get 1%* cashback each time you shop with them and pay with Curve. I've gone through the list of retailers in the app. there's quite a few. e.g. BP, TFL, Topshop, John Lewis, House of Fraser, H&m, Boots, Starbucks, Pizza Express, Nando's, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Lidl, Aldi etc.

If you apply for Curve black you can select up to 6 retailers and you get more choice. e.g. Marks and Spencer and Ocado are exclusive to Curve Black. (I think Curve black is also called Curve Premium). Plus you get 3-5% cashback, not 1%*.

I was wondering, how did you go about picking your retailers?, I heard with Curve (normal) once you select your 3 choices you cannot change them. However, if you have Curve Premium you can change your 6 choices every 90 days.

Common sense tells me just pick three that I'm most likely to make purchases at. However, I can only see one retailer that would definitely feature in the list of 3. From the other retailers, I'm likely to purchase at many of them.

*- not sure if this is 1% or 1-3%

I'm assuming this is a new thing for new customer signing up now - as I don't have this option with my Curve account

I signed up end of april this year.
Curve has been around since January this year, according to this article:

From what it says in that article, it seems cashback rewards was available in March. Perhaps it was introduced a month or two after launch? (and you applied soon as Curve was launched)

ARe you sure they weren't available at any point?
(Because it's only available for the first 90 days since sign-up, unless you switch to Curve black within the 90 days.)

Nope. Then again I signed up on 15th Feb 2018 so actually I am on the Rewards programme:

It's only for new customers, for their first 3 months.

I signed up too early and therefore am not part of the program

You should be on the Curve Rewards programme though - which IMO is better than the limited time cashback deal

I selected the three retailers just now. App said 'Valid for 90 days after activating the Curve card'.

When I hit 'confirm', it said 'Get 1% cashback when spending on these retailers. Valid until 21 Aug 2018'.

Although, according to the activation email I received from Curve, it was activated on 20 May 2018, which makes it slightly over 90 days. Curve must mean 3 months, not 90 days!
