    So you can only get rewards on the use of one selected card, you have to choose if you have both a credit and debit, whereas the old system was for any card linked to your account and covered both users of a joint account or second credit card user.

    Absolutely brilliant Santander! Another triumph for technology.
  • It refuses to accept my name - as it won’t allow either special characters, like a hyphen for example, or a space…. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 Truly Santander at their finest!

    Can someone clarity whether I have to use the Santander debit card when paying for any of the Santander Boosts, or is it just necessary to click through via the Boosts website and just pay with any card? Can’t tell for sure from the website.

    It seems to be both, depending on the offer
