I notice it says spend £200 per calendar month, and they notified me only yesterday so I have to spend at least £200 in the next couple of weeks in order to get the £10 cashback, if it started this month why didn't they inform everyone before it started..

Proud to be different so they say themselves.

Already suggested: buy some gift cards in the supermarket to increase your spend this month., then spend them when the offer has finished, or for example buy Tesco gift card and go buy their fuel with it (but needs to be a manned petrol station I think.)   I also think you have to wait up to 48 hours for the card to be active

You are correct, you cannot pay at pump with a gift card.  Not sure you need to wait up to 48 hours tho.  I bought £640 worth Tesco gift cards to utilise a Virgin account cashback offer in October last year.  Together with my husband we sent all the money by Christmas just on fuel. We rarely shop at Tesco.

Would it be appropriate for people to post which supermarkets are successful in terms of the offer as and when ..just an idea?

That info may not be available fior a few weeks or so - when the first payouts are made?

^^^^^^
"within 6 weeks of that month's end"- according to the t&c s
so, no-one is likely to know (for sure) until mid April!
(unless they notify you by text- and they aren't going to let me know- I don't think they have my mobile number!)

better to look at the list and assume that all the large supermarkets (and by that I also mean large stores not the little ones ) will be included

Never assume!  😂

Yes I know
assume - might make an !!!!!! of yoU & me!

I am working on the theory that a large Aldi & large Tesco will fit the bill! (or fit the cash back!)

Use it for my monthly Ocado shop which is about £100. And see if it works at my local Tesco Express for the rest.

Is there a way to see the MCC that is used by a specific store? Does it ever appear on a receipt? I used to have a Capital One credit card and could see the MCC by clicking on a transaction in the online statement.

I think we'd need an MCC of 5411 to be sure of the cashback.

Does anybody have any MCC to store name combinations they could share?
