Right, today's dodge.

Get Barclay's 5% cashback running, use debit card to add £200 to Tesco Xmas Saver scheme thus qualifying for £10 from Barclays and £12 in Tesco £'s in November.

Tesco Xmas Saver bonus £12 confirmed.
The purchase gives 200 Clubcard points - £2.
Barclay's £10 cashback credited and redeemed (will credit a/c ~5 days).

So £24 return for spending £200 at Tesco (that would have been spent in any case).

Looking at doing the Tesco Xmas saver scheme too….can you do the cash top up via debit card online rather than debit card in store as on website mentions about going into a store with customer services desk to top up?

I assume that any payments I make on 31st will be debited and tracked into November's cashback, as happens with Halifax.

Don't believe so, needs interaction with a human in person.

Remember that the deadline is Wednesday 18/10/23.

Has it been confirmed that you can only sign up for the 5% cashback via the app and there's no way to do it through online banking?

I spent over £200 on Amazon.co.uk but the transaction history states ‘Amazon Luxembourg’. This must be where the payments are collected through. This cleared on Wednesday, but no cashback has been paid. Do we think that Barclays won’t pay it and cite that it is ineligible as it was a transaction made outside of the UK? Or has anyone successfully received cashback from an Amazon purchase through this 5% offer so far please? 🤞🏻

Seems to take up to at least 5 working days to show on the cashback wallet so worth waiting a little longer to see if it appears

It says very clearly on their website. The 5% offer is an extra boost to their regular cashback offer, which you need to use the app to register for. 

To register for Cashback Rewards, you’ll need to use a mobile device with our app.

Thanks. I've managed to register for the app but cannot see anywhere in the app how to register for the promotion. It doesn't come up in any of the marketing and is not visible within the Blue Rewards section

Have you viewed the video that's on the page linked above? Might take an overnight before the app shows all details.

Yes I waited a while and have now been able to register for the usual 'up to 15% cashback offer' so assume that I am now automatically registered for the promotional 5% on everything offer.

Hurrah, my online purchase of Sunday, October 8 has finally resulted in £10 cashback, credited this afternoon. The reward never went into pending, just straight into available.

The reward statement doesn't show any detail, which makes it impossible to figure out what the cashback is for if you hope to use it for various smaller purchases.

Redemption of the reward is a bit like the Natwest/RBS reward scheme - not instant. They say it can take up to 5 days.
