Has anyone found that NatWest or PayPal have a huffy if you overdo this 1p payment trick? How many is too many? This is pretty much the only activity on both these accounts.1 -

Having the current/savings account(s) frozen/closed would be a little more annoying.0 -

from the home page select your current account, then Round Ups.@flan@flaneurs_lobster Thank you SO much, that worked! I found it a little tricky to update the App on my phone - still learning about it but got there in the end(It was already set up for automatic updates but it hadn't worked, obviously).Now I just need to figure out how to get to the shops frequently, to put it into practice and work out any online purchases I can make0 -
With the Paypal one, do you link the NW card to Paypal and then make a payment to a friend/family member?When I've bought things via PayPal in the past, they show up as Direct Debit payments and not debit card payments.Is this because they are for goods/services, and it is different for friend/family payments?Thanks0

The payments are taken from the only payment method set up on the "from" PayPal, the NatWest debit card.
Have you added bank account details? This would probably trigger DD payments, although isn't there a "preferred payment method" button?1 -
The other option, if you have PayPal credit, is to buy something for £100+ (that you would be buying anyway) and chip away at it over the 4 interest free months.1

Thanks @flaneurs_lobster - I do have a bank account and other card on Paypal. I checked a recent F&F payment and it WAS done by DD, as well as the G&S ones.I added the NW card. Wasn't sure whether I was supposed to 'link card' but when I looked it wanted me to add the card details so may have been for a different card? so I ignored it.I made a 'test' F&F payment on it by just choosing that card for payment and it went through as a Mastercard debit payment - yay! Still showing as 'pending' at the moment.Thanks @fergie_ - I don't have PayPal credit and wouldn't be spending that amount any time soon, ha ha0
