Apparently NS&I were unhappy with Curve users buying their products particularly when the underlying card was a credit card. Something about not getting into debt when buying government backed products.
When withdrawing cash abroad I understand fee free only works on weekdays. I don’t know how this is affected by time differences. If withdrawing cash at the weekend, I believe fees apply.
For those wanting to know more you could trawl the daily chat threads on Headforpoints since 1st September. Though many code words are used. As a starter I think ‘bendy’ means Curve. There are a few articles on the subject.
in my case I have a card from a high street store but I don’t spend much money in that shop. However I want them to remain as a presence on the High street. So I make them money by spending on their card. I suspect Curve reduces the fees they receive for each transaction.
Perhaps the article could be updated to discuss what fees are sent back to the underlying card provider? Especially if the customer changes the underlying card used for a transaction after the event. Also what is the transaction date shown on the underlying system/statement? Again what is the transaction date if the underlying card is changed after the event? I ask because I keep track of my transactions and reconcile them against my statements.
I am not entirely sure about that. I am under the impression that people who used their Creation card without Curve continue to have use of their card. Could be wrong on that front though.
i did get a text message afew months ago saying i was no longer able to use curve with the CC but i think everyone got that
my card is still active and i've had no emails/letters to say mine is being closed so i assume people who did use curve to get bonus points are the accounts that are being closed ?
If you have/don't have a 'specialist travel card', such as aqua rewards, should you change the currency depending on your holidaying country?

.definitely, NOT definately ......separate, NOT seperate
should have, NOT should of .....guaranteed, NOT guarenteed
Given the MASE article was last updated in March, it's likely out of date.
