OVO have just payed me the full 4% on my Oct dd plus the £66 rebate.WillPS said:Daliah said:Ovo are taking my usual DD (enough for £10 cashback), and have separately paid £66 into my 123 Lite account.

Doesn't any cashback today relate to September DD's, in which case the rebates hadn't started?graham47 said:OVO have just payed me the full 4% on my Oct dd plus the £66 rebate.0 -

Not neccessarily, Santander don't use calendar months annoyingly. In my case my Santander month runs 8th-7th-ish and my energy DD is paid around the 1st-3rd, so the 'September' month included my October 3rd £250 DD.

Not quite same circs as described by Daliah, but when Octopus refunded £160 of my credit balance a few months ago, Santander did not do any ‘netting off’.WillPS said:Daliah said:Ovo are taking my usual DD (enough for £10 cashback), and have separately paid £66 into my 123 Lite account.

Can’t complain at £10 cashback just for paying a couple of DD.
Going forward £5 not bad either especially as my energy suppliers have hiked my DDs to over £250 per month now 😭0 -

I think cashback applies to DD’s in that statement period. In my case that included October.
(my original post should, of course, have referred to “Santander”.)0
