Guessing payments to a sharedealing account such as Hargreaves Lansdown would not be eligible for the blue rewards 5% cashback - probably excluded under the bill payments or cash transactions exclusion categories in the t and c - but may give it a test. Anyone else know if this is the case?

I don't know for sure, but I think it will be excluded as cash transaction. Let us know the result if you decide to do a test. 

See the thread linked above - it has already been tested with HL and the result is it doesn't work.

Barclays Blue Rewards retailer cashback is very similar to Virgin and LBG.  My only useful one currently is 8% cashback at LNER.  You can buy any train tickets from LNER (apart from seasons possible) or buy a 1 year voucher for future use.

Anyone had problems signing up to Skipton's Single Access Saver (online not app)? I'm an existing customer and when trying to open the account (with interest paid away) it tells me "Insufficient bank details supplied [210933]" despite providing everything they ask.

Edit: It doesn't appear to be pulling in my name, only the account no. and sort code on the summary page.

Not yet. Could be weekend-itis. Am also an existing customer and plan to open tomorrow morning.

I decided to try the app. When opening in the app it says that interest will be credited to this account (no choice given whereas online you get 3 choices) but you can change it after online so I proceeded with opening. Logged in online to change the destination and got the same error so I think it is a problem with their site and no-one is around today to fix it.

On the Barclays Cashback Rewards when should the payment show up in your cashback rewards account. Registered, new rewards account showing in my app and used the correct card yesterday, the payment I made for shopping has gone through but nothing showing in my rewards account, not even as pending. Wondering if I’m being impatient or whether I should raise it with Barclays as an issue?

It can take up to 5 days to show in your cash back wallet even after the transaction is no longer pending

Thanks @pokemaster & @flaneurs_lobster, you’ve both put my mind at rest, I’ll wait until the end of the week and see if it’s arrived 😊

also if you spend less than £200 in the month, it says in the 5% cashback details that it'll pend till 5th of the next month. Only if you spend £200 or more you'd get the credit soon after pending
