Pockit card

Hi

A few years ago I opened a Pockit card account,and other than a few unauthorised payments that were attempted,I have had no problems.

Since I recently got a PayPal Credit account,and since Pockit started charging 99p a month admin fee,I want to cancel the card.

But because there is £2.86 credit on it,Pockit won't let me close the account.I did suggest to them that they transfer it to my bank account,but got no reply to that.
There isn't anything I can buy for such a small amount.

Any advice on how I can get this sorted out will be very welcome.
Thanks

    Can you not just transfer it to your account using the app / website?

    We use Pockit at work and this option is available to me. It also states that the first transfer is fee free.
  • I tried that and got this message"OOPS! YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO SEND THIS TRANSACTION"
  • Update on my last post..I just transferred the whole amount minus 99p fee,so all seems to be well.

    Thanks for the suggestion,I'll wait a couple of days to make sure it goes into my bank.

    Do you or someone you know have a bill you could make a partial payment to?

    Credit card, utility, council tax, mobile phone bill; catalogue account; add the balance to an Amazon account?
