Can you explain the Curve card thing in a bit more detail or point me to the right direction please? I am also on the lookout for Paypal options https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6404399/barclays-0-purchase-cc-working-with-paypal-cash-advance-fee#latestMrFrugalFever said:Not sure if there’s a PayPal workaround without being flagged as fraud or if you could utilise a Paypoint option with a pre-paid card. Either way I think curve card is going to be your greatest ally here.

I was able to make various ‘debit card’ transactions to the likes of savings accounts / NS&I etc from a fronted CC. It’s worth noting that a lot of CC’s will class such transactions as ‘cash-like transactions’ and charge fees/interest accordingly.Back in the day you could take out a loan, bank the money and settle it off in full with a 0% Purchase CC, providing you didn’t get hammered for fees etc you were quids in.If you believe you can, you will. If you believe you can't, you won't.
