I don't think cashback of £5 per £1000 (about the best around nowadays) is going to significantly enhance the bargain on the car, and as already suggested above I think you'd break the dealer's patience.
If you really fancy your haggling skills you might even manage to get a couple of extra quid off for not messing about like this, and doing faster payments bank transfer for most of the purchase.0 -
I think you would be better haggling with the dealer as a cash in hand buyer (even if it is loan cash). I wouldn't be wanting to deal like you suggest - I have no idea what it owuld do to your section 75 rights and as above may well flag you for fraud which I don't know bt can't believe would make you card more likely to be blocked again
