Sainsbury's - direct debit payments

cronshd

Does anyone know how to set up a direct debit for minimum payment with the Sainsbury's credit card?

It is possible to set up a direct debit online, but it does not seem to give you any option for what the amount would be. Does it assume that it will be the full amount?

Other cards by contrast, enables you to set the minimum payment, full amount or a fixed amount.

Any ideas about how to do this online?

And while we're on the subject, the option to pay a Sainsbury's credit card bill using WorldPay (i.e. by making a direct payment from a debit card while logged on to Sainsbury's online banking) has been confusing the hell out of me. It seems to give only three types of debit card which it accepts payment from: Switch, Solo or Visa Delta.

Now I know Switch has been rebranded to Maestro. That one I can handle - so I've been paying my minimum payments on my 0% Sainsbury's card using my only Maestro debit card, which is on an account I do not want to keep open much longer. My other debit card is a Visa debit card (not Delta branded). Will it work if I click on Delta and then enter my Visa debit card number?

I haven't set it up online, but it's really easy to just do it over the phone. Use https://www.saynoto0870.com to look up alternative numbers for the customer service line and you'll probably be able to get the call for free.

They'll post confirmation via post.

I dont know what the answer is to the original Q but Bargain Rzl...
I have paid a HFX CC using WorldPay from a Maestro card which I pretended was a Switch, and from a Visa Debit Card which I pretended was a Delta Card.
HTH.

I tried to do it online also, but eventually just got a message saying it was unable to action the request! Just phoned customer services and it was sorted out no problem. You can tell which payments are going to be covered by DD, because it says on your statement that's how the payment is going to be made - until it says so, keep sending the payments yourself. As asot said, don't use the 0870 number, customer services do have a geographical number.

As for the WorldPay payment - I used Switch before setting up the DD. Don't know about Visa debit card. You could try doing a test payment way in advance of the deadline so you can find out if it works. Or just change to DD. It's a big risk to take otherwise, as you could lose the 0% deal....
