Paying HMRC, are all cashback options closed now?

Are all cashback options to pay HMRC closed now? Got my first self assessment bill to pay over £30k this month. Curve metal looked like it may be an option but it appears they have a 2k daily spend limit. Are there any better ways to pay that get you some money back now other than debit card/online payment or have all those 'perks' been closed now?

    It is unusual that a first ever self assessment period results in a £30k tax bill (over and above whatever may have been paid through the year).  Even with consideration of future payments on account, the OP would need to be well above the point at which self assessment kicks in.

    If the OP can pay using curve, maximum £2k per day, is it an option to pay for 15 days in a row to settle the full £30k?  That might seem a faff but could be worth it if the cashback is sufficiently generous.  All HMRC will care is that they receive the full amount by the end of the month.
