    Making 30 TSB debit card payments to a Credit card is nothing to do with a building society !
    If anyone is making 30 TSB debit card payments to ones credit card in 10 minutes its good going ..well done I doubt I could do it in 30 mins 
    My question is in doing this one payment after another ,30 times in total the card will ask for the confirmation code in short order a number of times and I would imagine the card might even lock.

    Whether you pay a Building Society or a credit card or an online casino etc etc, for the bank it is a transaction on your debit card, and the bank may object to you making a series of payments for the same amount in a short period of time. As it happens, TSB don't mind 30 x £1 in 10-15 mins but they might ask for a confirmation cade for the last 10 or so. For now, anyway. The card doesn't 'lock up' as you suggested it might.

    Making 30 payments from TSB Debt card to a credit card in 10 mins for a fiver has nothing to do with a BS .

    I find with TSB that 20 tranx are fine. Then they block the 21st and send me a text to confirm I'm doing it. I answer YES, and then I complete the remaining 10 tranx. It's very straightforward

    30x £1 Amazon gift cards. Once the debit card is loaded on your account after the first one, it takes ~15 seconds for each one. You might need to re-enter the password once after the 20th purchase.

    I said in March I'd report back as to whether the TSB system would "allow" a  £5 reward  in the 7th month.
    I can now confirm it does not.
    TSB is, at least, efficient in this

    Thank you, I was about to do the transactions as this is my 7th month to check but wont proceed now, thanks for confirming, saved me sometime

    Nothing to stop you trying the Spend & Save Plus for a month. And nothing to stop you deciding it's not for you and going back to Spend & Save, after which you'd be eligible for another 6 months of £5 cashbacks.
