It was tongue in cheek. The internet isn't the best forum for expressing this I accept.

I have no beef with Nationwide, I use them as my main bank account and am more than happy with their service. Been a customer for over 20 years.

Fair enough, apologies for misunderstanding!

FWIW I am kind of wondering why they've bothered with this 1% cashback. It feels a bit meagre. I'd be interested to learn how effective the restriction on cash-like transactions is tho.

I wonder if certain merchaNt codes Slip through the net & are Included? 

Hopefully some brave footsoldiers can give it a try and report what they find.

Could always skip to next challenge  🤔

It's a max benefit of £60. They've given £100 out payments to members this year and last, and all the indications are that they'll do something similar again next year.

To some members please...

Either statement is correct.

So can I pay from Nationwide to my NS and I account by debit card and get the cashback for the transactions?

The OP has "Cash-like transactions are excluded."
A payment to a savings account sounds like a cash-like transaction to me.

In other contexts eg to get the Coop switch incentive such transactions are accepted even though that has the same clause

Genuine question:
So what counts as "cash-like transactions"?

I could only guess that it would be a Withdrawal via cash machine.

Yep. This is what I'm trying to establish and it seems to be defined in a "things like" kind of way,  which is ... surprising
