Using hyperjar

debbie_debt

Hi all, and Happy New year! 

Does anyone use hyperjar for general spending? We're trying to use it for everyone in the house to have a small amount of general spending money, but can't figure out how to pay for things online with it. Has anyone figured out how to link it to your Amazon account, or buy gig tickets etc on it? 

Thanks
Deb

Have used it a little bit, not sure why you are having difficulty.  You assign one of your jars to be linked to the Hyperjar debit card.  Pay funds into your hyperjar account by bank transfer and use the Hyperjar debit card as you would any other debit card.

Maybe you just signed up to it and haven't received the debit card in the post yet?

Ahhh yes thats exactly it! I'm brand new and thought I was only getting an account number and sort code. Thank you! I shall try and be a bit more patient 😆

Sorry, what's the point in this?
Why not just pay from the original bank account?

I use hyperjar for the linked kids card for pocket money.  It's similar to go Henry but free.

Same here. They love the independence of their own card, and I can see where they spend it.

Also, as an avid theatre goer, I found that storing my theatre pot within the ATG Partner Jar at a 4.8% Annual Growth Rate, earned me a few more extra pennies than leaving it in a standard instant access account. Think I made enough to cover one transaction fee, so not a great earner, just a little perk.
