    Without reading every comment in great detail I cannot see an answer to my question:
    I see that the app has to be installed on a phone. Is there a computer version, as I do not use a phone for purchases of any kind?

    I noticed LNER is on here at 8%, has anyone been using this? I travel via Thameslink and the tube but can just buy tickets through LNER's website anyway and could get the 8% which is quite a lot of cashback.

    Does anyone do this and know if this works? I might give it a try and report back

    Yes I've earned nearly £50 on Airtime Rewards buying my rail tickets through LNER for cash back.

    The percentage does vary - I get 5% but still a good deal.

    I see that in the 'more ways to earn' section of the app there is now an option to complete surveys to earn extra rewards

    After completing 3 purchases, they drop the cashback from 8% to 5% and only on purchases over £70. (LNER)

    Does the mobile number registered with Airtime determine the mobile phone account that the cashback can be used to redeem towards? If so, does the customer name make any difference or it's just the number?

    Also interested in the answer to this.

    OH has a sim only deal with O2. Can rewards be put towards his minimum monthly payment or does it need to be against additional data?  If not, then can he transfer credit to me? I have a contract with O2.

    For the record: 
    • It's just the number; the name makes no difference.
    • Even better, when redeeming your rewards there is a second option - gift rewards to another number (any).
