  • Daft question but is it OK to do the debit card spend online? Doesn't have to be in a physical shop?

    You don't have to spend "spend" either. There's online savings accounts that accept debit card payments that count too.

    I just topped up my Amazon account with £1, hope that qualifies (no reason why not).

    Has anyone received the £125 yet?

    I have not received the £125 yet. They'll probably pay it as close to the 31st August as possible.

    Or as close to 30 September 2023, per their offer 🤷‍♂️

    I was also thinking it's something being paid close to end of September.

    It's a pity the app doesn't tell you how many qualifying purchases you've made. My Halifax reward (spend £500 on debit card) tells me how far along I am so I know if spent enough.

    Easy enough to count them in your account transactions

    Whilst I agree that it is easy to count them up in the transaction feed, I am not confident that TSB will count them the same as me.

    For example, in July I made three purchases towards the end of the month that are showing in the app as 1 August, even though that was not the date of the transaction.

    Do those three count towards August (cleared date) or towards my July usage.

    Including those three, I hit 24 DC transactions in July so, if they did not count towards the transactional month data, I still qualified with 21 hence no clarification yet.
