blue curve card

Setup a blue curve card when they first started whenever that was but stopped using it when the perks were trimmed I got an email in december with a free 5 quid in curve points for spending 10 that was soon followed by a 3 months cashback offer. I assume this has now ended as the last time i used curve for amazon purchases i didn't get any curve points.

Do people get regular offers from curve to entice you to use it again ? as at the moment i can't really see any point using it if the cashback offer has ended.

    I stopped using mine when the perks dried up (about 4 months ago) and haven't heard anything from them since.
    TBH, like you, I can no longer see any benefits to using it.

    I've had my blue Curve card for several years and still get cashback on purchases from Boots.  However, I haven't shopped there during the past month.



    In the app, under Manage Your Subscription, one of the features is '1% Instant Cashback'.

    I have also used the card at Lidl, which is on the list here, but didn't receive cashback.

    theres no options to select in the manage subscription option things only became availabe when i change to curve black/metal but this means a monthly subscription. time to ditch it i guess.

    I have surprised myself as I am now using Blue Curve for its intended purpose from time to time, when I make purchases on the internet. I do have a fair few cards that I use regularly, and I find it easiest/quickest to select the relevant card in Curve, and then to make the payment with Curve.

    The 1% cashback offer, which I have had twice, is showing but I cannot select any merchants at present.

    I agree its a great idea as it does cut down on the number of cards you need but overall its not really worth it for me without additional benefits like 1% cashback i'm hoping if i stop using it the offer may return.
