Chase Cashback changing

Speculator

Wonder if Amazon gift card bought at Tesco would earn cashback?

I will test it with a £5 GC from 7/4.

Other forms of transactions, including, but not limited to, direct debit payments, credit card transactions, or bank transfers, will not be eligible for cashback.

What a !!!!!!!  They shamelessly say this like "direct debit payments, credit card transactions, or bank transfers" ever qualified...

Towards the end discussion picks up on the most recent changes.

I may stop using them as much now and may eventually just close the account. What a poor way to treat loyal customers.

Chase is definitely becoming less attractive with the recent fall in interest and now this. Not going to ditch as handy to use abroad, but won't be funding it with £1500 every month any more.

£1500 is not a big problem if you have more than 2 bank accounts with app.
Money just go in & out...
You don't need to leave £1500 within Chase bank account.

I don't leave it in either. Used to leave my monthly spend in the savings side, but now that's been reduced, just leave a small spending amount and top up as required.

Plenty of credit cards, a few of which can be used in conjunction with the discounted egift card vendors.

£5 for 'spending £500' on a Halifax Reward current account (can open up to 3). They don't care where the money is 'spent' (so savings deposits and credit card payments are fine) but it's not a % deal; spend a penny under £500 and you'll get nothing, and spending any more than £500 won't get you more than £5.

Santander Edge - no better than this on debit card cashback but cashback on some DDs as well.
