Nationwide 5% cashback on supermarket spending

GalacticaActual

I have received £10 cashback this evening, although I was only expecting £8.59 (approx).

It would appear Nationwide have ignored the refunds from Asda or maybe they’ve included some grocery transactions I have made in March?

Asda always charge/debit the full amount of the weekly shop the day before delivery then issue a refund for any items they are unable to deliver shortly thereafter.

Although not directly comparable, I get the same with the NatWest Reward credit card cashback. I have had several credits, sometimes quite large, and the cashback previously made is never clawed back.

That’s good to know. Thanks

Have people received the cashback for purchasing gift cards at the supermarkets?

I topped up my ASDA Christmas Saver card with my shop at a self service till and it counted.

I've had my cashback but I haven't yet been able to reconcile it with my actual debit card spending.
By ignoring all my LIDL spending then it's much closer.

The NW cashback page does include LIDL in the list of qualifying supermarkets but there is also a general comment that not all branches of supermarkets may qualify depending on how they are registered with VISA. I wonder if I've been using one such exception.

I bought a load of stamps today at Tesco customer services. The price of stamps go up on Monday April 3 by more than 10% - 1st 95p up to £1.10 and 2nd 68p up to 75p. I used my NW debit card. I presume this will count towards the 5% cashback?

I bought Morrison's gift cards in Morrison's with my debit cards and have received the cashback.  I'm now using these for my spending.

Yes - because it was end of February and I was no where near £200 spend because Nationwide conveniently didn`t promote this offer "in advance",  I bought Morrison`s gift cards. They have not been awarded cashback. Does this mean buying gift cards at supermarkets is excluded from the offer?

I wouldn't have thought so, because Visa or Nationwide won't know what was bought. They'll just know you spent £xx in Morrisons. Assuming you actually bought them in a Morrisons store, and paid at a normal checkout, they ought to qualify.

When you say the end of Feb, was it the last couple of days? It's possible the transaction didn't settle until March therefore might have been included in the March calculation (which I realise doesn't help you). 

Have you been paid any cashback at all? Remember the cashback's not actually due to be paid until 11 April, although Nationwide appear to be making the payments in phases so some people have already received theirs.
