Chase Cashback changing

Neil_Jones

I can confirm Farmfoods does still qualify for cashback at Chase, considering I went in there this morning.

As mention of B&M is above, I presume Heron Foods (which is owned by B&M) also qualifies for cashback?

Heron Foods usually counts, B&M usually does not. Both accept Amex now.

Has anyone tried Home Bargains? As they are similar to B&M I’m presuming not, but I’m guessing there will be a few oddities in classification to be discovered.

Probably not a surprise but Too Good To Go doesn't work. Tried at 2 different places, one of which was a Morrisons Daily but no luck.

I tried Home Bargains, no cashback sadly.

Changed my default for contactless in Google Pay to my Barlcaycard cashback after I nearly used Chase out of habit. Far better to have 0.5% than miss out entirely in the few places Chase now earns 1%. With apps that have Google Pay integrated there doesn't seem to be a default setting, but it seems to use the card selected last which is OK. Should save me from making a mistake hopefully.

My way around this is slightly complicated but workable. 

I’ve opened a new Nationwide account with 1% on everything up to £5 a month for a year. I know Chase is 1% up to £15. 

I also have a curve card. I’m going to set up rules so that anything which isn’t given cashback by Chase now goes through Nationwide. So by combining the two I can get up to £20 a month cashback (although I doubt I’ll actually get the maximum). 

The only pain here is having to make sure I have money in both accounts. But with 5% interest on the nationwide current account up to £1500 it makes sense to move some savings into there anyway. I like to be able to use money saved not have it unavailable or if I make a withdrawal reduce my interest rate like with FD. 

I think this a pretty good plan.

I’m doing similar.  If I’m in the supermarket or petrol station I’ll get the Chase card out, anything else I’ll use a different card.

Just very annoying as going Abroad was the main reason I got the card, as that got a good amount of cashback over the 2 weeks. Any suggestions on a new card to use abroad?

Me too. need a cashback card with a good foreign exchange rate

Chase won't offer a cashback for transactions abroad so what's the point using their card?! Time to ditch them for me, I'm also happy to boycott an American company.

Just if anyone is interested, Nandos and Costco did not qualify for cashback.

No way to be certain on what still qualifies.

There was previous discussion about Costco not qualifying.  And eating out/takeaway does not qualify, so Nando is a dead duck I'm afraid.
