  • Do moving money to Paypal class as Debit Card Spend 
    Yes. Technically not moving it to paypal. You save the card in paypal and use it to pay someone else, and that someone else sends it back to you via bank (not paypal)

    The person must have four accounts to obtain £20 monthly. You get to keep the £500 debit card spend by sending monies to yourself.

    How do you send money to yourself to keep the £500 is there away to get around this?? 
    If there is a way of keeping the £500 and getting the Rewards then will move TSB to Club Lloyds and my 2 DD's over
    Look up NS%I Income Bonds or Post Office online savings or indeed any other savings account that takes debit card transactions into the account and open one of them.
     Then "spend" the £500 by making a debit card transaction into it.

    I pay into either NS&I or Skipton or pay off credit card bill but what you suggested regarding PayPal also tried, tested and works and got £5 by doing that? If this works then much better than other workarounds

    I've literally just told you. If you already have a Post Office (online?) saver then you're good to go.

    Indeed. This is in fact what I do.
    BUT one account is personal and the other a business one with paypal.
    It may - or may not - work with 2 personal accounts but duuno if paypal allows 2 accounts belonging to same person. Maybe you can call and ask them.
