    Not sure Lee where you get the idea I’m sitting at night making 60 payments🤣
    15 mins tops on my lunch break at work. Beats sitting looking at computer screen 
    I misunderstood your OP, I mean there’s not much else to do right now so 60 transfers on an app to gain free rewards seems pretty logical to me, every little helps 😀
    If you believe you can, you will. If you believe you can't, you won't.

    Secured/Unsecured loans x 1 
    Credit Cards x 8 (total limit £55,050)
    Creation FS Retail Account x 1
    Creation Credit Sale 0% x 1 = £112.50pm x 20 mths
    0% Overdraft x 1 (£0 / £250)
    Mortgage Outstanding - £137,707.00 (Payment 13/360)
    Total Debt = £7,400 (0%APR) @ £100pm - Stoozing

    With the co-op & Halifax rewards it equates to £45 free cash per month for me. All for about 30 mins of my time all in - personally I think that’s a decent return. 
    Unless all of you are on more than £90 hourly rate? 😏

    NatWest credit card does not allow debit card payments! I also planned to ‘spend’ £500 from my Halifax rewards account this way, but you cannot. NatWest simply does not accept debit card payments!
  • The Co-Op rewards account gives 5p per transaction, up to a maximum of £3 a month with £2 generic bonus. The Halifax rewards account pays £5 a month so long as you spent £500 on debit - where is £45 per month coming from? If it's 30 minutes of time, that's £6 per hour not £90

    Farfetch - I don’t just have 1 reward account. Besides if I make £45 from 30 mins work does that not equate to £90 an hour?

    Yeah I have a natwest rewards credit card and I’ve had this issue as well 
  • Well I suppose it's worth it for £45.

    This is a money saving website and this is a money saving idea. £45 for a bit of time and effort looks like good value to me.

    I understand the small payments from the Coop card, as they pay you for each one you make - but the Halifax? Thats just an amount, not spread over multiple payments.

    The object of my original post was to find out if anyone out there has a credit card that they can pay online or on their app by an external debit card but it seems people are far more interested in the ins and outs of why🤣🤣
    60 small coop payments and Halifax £500 payments
