Cheapest way of paying for Octopus

Zilch card pays 2% cashback/rewards for Octopus.

Some people have reported that they also get the 1% with Chase debit as the card behind Zilch but that didn't work for me.

Chase works for me when I make a manual payment.  My (low) DD is from a different bank though so I don't know if paying a DD from Chase would give the cashback.

Anyone who does the £1 DD just beware to keep tabs on your email as Octopus' computer will see the low DD and try and hike it back to wahtever their computer thinks it should be (as it doesn't seem to take into account you ARE making payments towards the account just manually).

Paying a DD from Chase doesn't give any cashback.

Zilch is a virtual MasterCard, similar in some ways to Curve, but you can link only one debit card to it.  You pay with Zilch and get cashback/rewards on that and the actual payment is taken from the linked debit card.

No cashback on DD - only on debit card transactions
