    An option may be to top up Revolut with the Halifax debt card and paid your HSBC credit via bank transfer from Revolut. I'm not sure how long that will last a Revolut is catching on to people using their service for this purpose. Another option is to pay a bills that are normally paid via direct debts if you don't need them for cashback (Natwest, Santander, Barclays, ect.). Or get a better credit card that pays rewards and accepts debt cards. 
    Thank you. I figured out that the easiest way to satisfy Halifax spending requirement is to get an easy access saving account which accepts contributions by debit cards.
