Nationwide 5% cashback for February (mine) paid 27 March 2023

where_are_we

Today I received my £5 cashback on a £100 Morrisons gift card purchased at the end of February.

I have 2 Flex Accounts and have now received cashback on both accounts for February.

Aldi are better value than Morrisons. You can buy an Aldi gift card online and have it delivered free. I take it you cannot buy an Aldi gift card in store? I assume this purchase will qualify for cashback? Nationwide cashback scheme ends 30 April. Towards the end of this month I intend to buy Aldi gift cards  to get me up to maximum £10 cashback for April.

Lidl apparently do not sell gift cards in UK?

FlexAccount member here, just got my cashback (dated for tomorrow), and it's slightly more than expected so that's nice. I'd just totted up my supermarket spends to estimate it, so there must have been something else that they count too, I'll have a proper look shortly.

In case anyone else is struggling to reconcile their numbers too, for me the only way I get to the cashback figure is by including purchases dated until 2nd March (the purchases themselves I might have made within February but honestly I can't remember).

As far as I understand, purchases made in March are not included in March distribution, only February spendings.

You can buy Aldi gift cards (and others) in Aldi stores.

Reminder that the offer applies to both card holders on a joint account - viz you can BOTH get £10 = £20.

Offer also applies if you have more than one Nationwide account, viz £10 for every £200 spent on each debit card on each account held.

And cashback is included in the total spend, thus you can speed things up by buying, say, a loaf of bread and get £50 cashback at the till at adjacent supermarkets (we have Co-op and Sainsbury Local next door to each other).

Wife & I hold joint FlexPlus and FlexDirect accounts, so should be looking at £120 for maximum monthly spend on four cards (£800) over three months viz £2400, which we have been doing during normal weekly shop.

NB. Best to write totals for each card down as you go, no way to see what was paid for on whatever card in app, or in account online.

If you don't need all that cash, pay it back into a bank account at post office (they will not credit Nationwide accounts at post office though, so choose a different bank such as Halifax or Natwest) - or at an actual bank if you have one that has not closed down locally.

You can also pay via Apple Pay / Google Pay and / or switch qualifying payments to co-op debit card retrospectively via Curve.

Our February money all paid out into respective accounts 29/3/23 for me and 31/3/23 for spouse.
