Nationwide 5% cashback on supermarket spending

Bridlington1

Good morning all,
I've just discovered that Nationwide are offering 5% cashback when you spend at supermarkets with your debit card. See:

Thanks for the information, Bridlington1.

I will be taking advantage of this cashback offer

@Bridlington1 as a matter of interest were you advised by NW directly of the offer ?

I am a NW customer and haven't heard about it from them.

Thanks for the heads up.

Excellent Spot Bridlington1.

Will make full use of that over the next 3 months. £200 per month.

NW customer here, no notification from NW.

Heard about it from Be Clever with your Cash newsletter.

How will you make £200 a month from this? There’s a £10 per month limit per card, so you’d need 20 qualifying current accounts and spend £4,000 on food a month. There are also all sorts of exclusions. Sorry.  Read the T&Cs.

You can't make £200/mth but you need to spend £200/mth in supermarkets to get the full £10/mth cashback.

I just came across it by chance on the website. I imagine I'll hear from Nationwide about it soon though as the offer was only launched this morning.

Hi

Hopefully, others will follow NW
Sadly, these gimmicks are short-lived and possibly there to
aid a new campaign to get new customers soon
however, every little bit helps


Thanks

I am wondering if purchasing a  gift card at Tesco would qualify for the offer? Then the card could be used to buy fuel at their garages.

I see no reason why it won't. All they will see is Tesco spend £xx. They won't know what you've bought. When Virgin had the 25% supermarket cashback offer I bought £640 worth of gift cards in supermarkets (including some Argos vouchers in a Sainsbury's local) and that worked fine.
