    Hahaha exactly the same case, I have two saving accounts with them but I’m not able to pass its eligibility checker

    And?
    Just because you have other products with them doesn't mean you're entitled to more with them

    I’m not saying that but it’s curious my bank knows that I can save £650/month(I have not debts), however I don’t pass its online eligibility checker, on the other hand Barclays accepted me without knowing my savings, just different criteria

    Mainly because if I can make contactless payments it will make my life easier when making purchases in-stores. Additionally, for 90 days I will be earning 1.5% cashback (1% from Curve and 0.5% from Aqua) for 90 days which is a nice touch when trying to build a great credit history.

    I know using the Curve Card removes any S75 protection however I don't think I'll need it when purchasing fuel, groceries, etc. Additionally, because my Aqua account is new with a small limit, Curve gives me the ability to change the account that the purchase was charged to so if I initially charged my Debit Card (because a purchase would push me over my limit) I would be able to make a payment to aqua and then change the purchase to Aqua to maximise cashback.

    Understood. I didn't realise Curve was also offering a reward. Take your point about your typical spending arrangements and S75.

    So, if I have understood you correctly (which I don't think I have), if you spend on Curve and then assign that to an underlying card, you can change your mind, and re-assign that spend to a different underlying card. Is that right?

    Can you re-assign multiple times and does Aqua remove cashback for credits?

    Yes

    For each transaction you can only re-assign it once.
