Yes that seems to cover it. I suspect the £500 in March requirement may trip some people up (you heard it here first)

Haha, it's just caught me out!  I thought it would be OK for April as the scheme starts in April, so didn't expect to do anything in March.  Oh well, no cashback for me this month, will switch my spending to a different card

I've just checked and have that same cashback offer with t&cs. I thought my current 1% cashback ended this month, but in the rewards section of the app it says end Apr.

Yeah I got email today saying it’s extended until 1st April while they get new cashback ready, also 1% on current account starting in April, hardly ground breaking, but it’s a change. Max £15 a month cashback.

Presumably you could make a £1500 debit card payment into Skipton BS to get the £15 each month. Worth a try!

Its all down to the merchant code list for Mastercard payments 
Building Societies won't count and there is also other payments that don't count
Its mainly spending in supermarkets, petrol stations Amazon

If you where getting £15 month  you where already funding the account in excess of the required £500

Still a very good value account, especially for people who can't/don't have cashback credit cards. I don't normally put £500 in but it's no hardship to increase that just to get the cashback. Seen some impressive sums that people have saved, my own cashback isn't at those top levels as I only use debit cards for larger purchases, but 1% off when you're buying a fridge or suchlike is always welcome.

I agree its not a bad account but if you had a Nat West account  you might have got 5% of your fridge

Perhaps funded though from the Chase Saver, which doesn't count towards the £500
