Nationwide 5% cashback on supermarket spending

Ayr_Rage

On my first purchase at Tesco in February I had a brain fart at the checkout and paid using the Tesco Pay+ app where my NW debit card was linked.

Despite it not being on the list of card wallets that qualify it was included in my February spending, cashback was credited yesterday.

I got my £10 yesterday.  Wonder when the March bonus will arrive?

Information from internet.

February's showed this morning. It was more than expected because my statement shows a purchase on 15th Feb. and the next 1st March, both Tesco online grocery orders. Adding both of those together and 5% of the total equals the credit to my account. £8.53.

My total Tesco groceries spend for March should generate the maximum £10.

Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

The first reported February payment was on 26th March.

This was over 2 weeks earlier than their target date of 11th April.

Yours was paid  10 days “early”, as was mine, so I am forecasting the 1st of May or thereabouts.

On the assumption that processing the cashback payments imposes a non-trivial load on Nationwide's systems and will generate a spike in calls to customer services, it's obvious that the work should be split into tranches, say 10% each working day.  So Nationwide would have planned to start making the payments at least ten working days before the promised date (and probably earlier to allow for unforeseen problems).  I would suggest that we've just witnessed such a strategy being implemented and we could expect a repeat for the following months, though perhaps a little later once any processing problems have been overcome and in larger tranches.

Did you buy it on line?  I bought an ASDA Christmas Gift Card in store with other items and wish to top up. Can I top up on line and qualify for the NWide 5% or is is better to do it instore with other shopping?

Thanks
