Did they change the T&Cs on this or am i missing something?
Last year i think it was, i helped my brother & sister with the opening of theirs and i remember the first purchase had to be in foreign money in order to get the £20 cashback at the time.
I've just opened one myself for the £20 'freebie' and it seems to just say the first spend without stating it has to be in foreign currency. I don't want to get caught out so is that correct, have they changed the offer T&Cs or am i just being blind?

The terms just state “purchase”.
If in doubt call them and ask0 -
I did two transactions on mine the first day I had it: One at Tesco self-service and the other was a foreign transaction. Both hit the same day, so not sure which one triggered the cashback. I got the cashback a week later.0
