    Apple Pay "considered" is a touch of a weasel word. It really should say "included" or "covered". Anyway, we will see.

    Same here.

    But the £125 should be paid within 20 days of qualifying (incl 5 spends), hence there is plenty of time to wait and see if ApplePay counts, and then add some more physical card spends still within the 60 day overall time limit.

    Good shout - annoying as it was things I needed & wasn't just buying to complete the offer.

    Agreed!

    We will find out the answer from other users on here once their 20 days is up.  I hope to receive the £125 on 30 Nov.

    Please update the thread once you hear anything!  Have you only used apple pay for transactions?

    Will do - two of my five purchases were ApplePay.
