Received my double cashback today from topping up my Revolut account 20 times via Google Pay. Nice easy way to qualify without actually having to spend anything!

FYI - Revolut monitor their debit card top up option, and have been known to disable the feature for customers deemed to be abusing it. It might be that it's a total amount that triggers a review (in which case you're fine here). Not enough data to be sure if it's that or volume of top ups (and over which period) tho.

Has anyone got the offer who already had a TSB account in 2023? Thankyou

Newp - I did (tried it on, worst case get a fresh 6 months of cashback) but no dice it seems. Still 6 months of fivers so not a total bust.

I guess TSB have improved their eligibility checking.

How do you know this? The bonuses aren't due to be paid until after the 20th March.

I'll keep this in mind. I believe there's a limit of 10 top ups a day, so I do 10 x £10 top ups on 2 different days. I'm not too fussed about losing access to Revolut so I'll stick to this amount and see what happens.

Correct but the bonus fivers were due last month and this month, and I've received neither.

Neither did lots of people, many of whom have never received a bonus before. It seems completely random. Some people get the extra £5 no problem, others don't.

Today both £5s came through fine. Glad I don't have to contact support again.

True. I'm setting my expectation levels at 'not eligible so wont get it'. Will happily be disproved if £125 drops in towards the end of the month tho.

That's how we all feel when we're winging it. Who knows what will happen? As you say, you're getting your 6 x £5. And possibly £30 through Topcashback? It's all better than nothing.

If you complain to them you'll probably get your other 6 x £5. I did this and got my extra £5 for January in March. So did others on here. I'm prepared to have to do this over the next 5 months.
