Halifax Scrapping £5/Cinema ticket Rewards.

BlueonBlue

If you couldnt activate the fiver reward then its a bit late to try now !
Its been around about 15 years of £5 cashback rewards since 2009 ....even the credit card gave a fiver at one point in time.

Presumably they're talking about Cashback Extras, not Reward Extras.

Also it hasn't been £5 the whole time you said, the net reward decreased to £3 then to £2 in the 10s before jumping back to £5 after a relaunch in 2020.

For several years, I have been holding several Reward accts as well as a credit card. I cannot activate the cashback on any of them

If posters cant figure out either of the halifax cashback offers after several years givern all the info on this site over 15 years ...good luck with it now as one cash reward is history and the others are very marginal discounts.

At one point the supermarket cashback offers and a couple of others could be worked over (mine still shows £470 cashback in total) which was at least 85-90% cash profit .

Over that shorter period mentioned above where halifax lowered the reward ..... the lower cashback reward amounts didnt matter much if you had multiple accounts. It was just a faint or a weak attempt to flush out the system which worked to a degree as many closed accounts.

Those with 4-8 accounts that hung on ...... have picked up more than a few grand over (up to) 15 years aprox for ones efforts .

I am not sure what you are trying to tell me, or indeed whether you are trying to tell me anything. In short, the Halifax (and / or Lloyds) cashback scheme has never been attractive to me until now, and the only attraction now is the prize draw. Though for some reason I am unable to activate it now (also not at Lloyds). Not that I am losing sleep over it, and for reasons I am not going into here, I won’t be contacting them about it.

I've discussed app issues with Halifax on more than one occasion, including the bit where it said 'keep' £1500 in your account, that was many months ago, yet they've never corrected the error.  Another time, the tracker froze and was showing 3 days activity into the middle of the month, and probably beyond. I've also had to switch to paper documents since they changed their ink from black to grey so that I can't read them online, which is annoying when we're trying to save the planet. I've made multiple suggestions for improvements, including being able to sort the cashback extras into some kind of order. Terrible chat too, only notifies me when they close the chat, no notification when they reply so they think I'm not responding; and I know that's not just me.

Everyday Offers/cashback scheme had to be activated by 19th September in order for Prize Draw to be activated between 1st -31 October.

Is it at all three, or just Halifax and Lloyds this offer?

Dates I mentioned certainly refer to both Halifax and Lloyds, I have no knowledge about BOS.

 I haven't done anything in particular prior to the 19th and today it seems still successfully activated both the Lloyds& the Halifax (clicked the plus sign next to Prize Draw : Win up tp £5000 cash). So to participate, I now need to activate/make use of one of the cashback offers , spend min. £0.20 (Bodyshop?) and wait for the results of the draw on the 07/11 - am I reading this correctly?

There's no minimum spend (I know it says 20p on the offer) according to the T&Cs.

There won't be any results of the draw.
