I believe it's only groceries now

Nope, it's groceries, everyday transport and fuel.

But not all groceries, everyday transport or fuel.  It depends on the seller's Merchant Category Code, and you can't tell that in advance.  Groceries only count if bought directly from "major UK supermarkets and most convenience shops".  Fuel does not count if bought from a roadside shop which also sells fuel, if the seller has the wrong MCC.  If you're not buying from a big name outlet, don't count on the cashback.

I used a third-party Android NFC app to obtain the 'real' number of my Chase card, and added that to Airtime. 

(choose the app carefully / be aware of security considerations)

Thanks for the tip, but have no idea how that works and how it shows the card number and can I then delete once I find the number or do I need to use it to pay?  I have never used my phone to pay I prefer a physical card. Also how do you choose the app carefully as there seems to be quite a few other than look at reviews?

I've got an app called Credit Card Reader NFC (EMV) on my Samsung. Doesn't seem to have passed my details to bad people.

Install it, follow the instructions to get the Chase physical card number, add the number to Airtime. Delete the app.

Add the virtual card number as displayed in the Chase app to Airtime as well.

If you pay for Transport for London services on your Chase card then the details of the transaction shown on the app will show your physical card number. Think that it also shows on your Oyster/TfL account if you've registered the Chase card there.

I can't pay for Transport for London as in Manchester so that option a no go too.

Bee Network might work the same way. There's an option for downloading an invoice for your contactless statements.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't pay as I get a free OAP bus pass now.
