TSB £200 switch offer July 2023

Does anyone know if Apple Pay payments will class as debit card transactions for the extra £75? I rarely use my physical card these days, but conscious that for the extra £75 there needs to be 5(?) debit card transactions a month?

When I spoke to TSB on the phone, they said I should use the physical debit card rather than Apple Pay.

I did this and can confirm my £125 landed today!

Apple Pay and Google Pay are fine for the debit card spend criteria.

Have you received the £125? If so, have you solely spent using Apple or Google Pay? Just want reassurance that this is the case because this contradicts what I was told on the phone by TSB.

Received my £125 yesterday. Used my card once in store and bough one banana for £0.19. Made also 20 x £0.01 payments via Friends & Family to my Oh for the monthly 5er (also received). Also paid in £500 and out the same day just in case. Now need to satisfy the remaining criteria for the other £75

Using via Google pay shows it as a debit card transaction with last 4 digits of debit card - same as using physical card.

For the £125 payment, I believe that I have met all of the conditions. I used the debit card to buy a coffee on 30/08 but the transaction was pending for a while in my app and now shows as 04/09. I hope I still qualify 🤞

Its not when you use it but when it's credited, so if you needed that transaction to be before 01/09 it won't count.

Not true ...... I did the same, used mine late in the month and it didn't show on the account until the 1st because of the weekend ...... confirmed with CS rep on the phone it would be OK.

Got my £125 yesterday ....!!!

That does not make sense. To get the £125 you have to use DC by 31 Aug. How Friday 1st September can be used as a because of the weekend.

If it was Tuesday 1st August affected by the weekend, then the 1st fine as it's before 31st August.

hmmmm ......just checked back

It appears I had mis-remembered that it was a weekend issue, however the transaction was definitely made late in August and DEFINITELY did not appear on my account until the first September - and incentive was still paid - which is the main point I was trying to make.
