Cashback earnt is meant to be paid by the end of the following month according to the T&Cs. ie. cashback due on a transaction from 01Jun could be as late as 31Jul to be paid.

I've tested a few of the usual savings accounts accepting debit cards and unsuprisingly nothing has paid cashback yet. It's all based on the MCC the merchant uses, but as far as I can tell Lloyds haven't published a list of exactly which ones are/aren't acceptable (nor do I expect they will).

So I've just had £1 of "Premier cashback" added to my account this afternoon. I made a few different transactions to different places at the start of July, all for different amouts so I would hopefully be able to figure out which transaction was responsible. I believe this relates to a £100 deposit I made into my NS&I Direct Saver account... I did a few more at the start of August, so watch this space I guess to see what else pays out next month!

Interested in the update and if NS&I is eligible for cashback

I've just had more premier cashback paid into my account this arvo, which tallies up with the NS&I debit card deposit I made at the start of August.

Me too! Bit weird that they call it a refund, but all works out nicely

Thanks for the update. NSAndI is such a faff as I keep getting logged out 95% of the time but I've gave it a go. Anyone tried Revolut as I heard it worked for the Halifax £500 debit card spend which entitled you to their £5 reward .

So just for my clarity (!), I could pay £1000 into my NSandI direct saver (or, better, Family BSoc) account every month, and get the max £10 cashback on my premier lloyds account?

The T&C's of the Lloyds Premier cashback say they exclude "financial services transactions". From the little bit of testing I did a few months ago, I know Revolut doesn't work. I suspect other building societies would be the same.

NS&I seems to get classified as "Government Services not elsewhere classified" on my Lloyds account which seems to be the bit that sidesteps the restrictions on financial services transactions. I've cycled £1k through NS&I last month and got the full £10 cashback. It's annoying having to tie up the money for a full week, but given I wouldn't normally use my debit card it's an easy way to max out the cashback.

Wonderful.  Thanks for clarifying.

For me, the last 2 months have been on the 26th and 29th respectively. Not sure if it's the same for everyone else
