Sainsbury's to Natwest transfer

vacheron

Well I've just got caught out when I received a phone notification that I had "just paid £165 from my NatWest credit card". (My NatWest credit card is a balance transfer only card and so has never left the safe)

Stood for about 30-40 seconds thinking, "How on earth have I made that stupid mistake?" and then it dawned on me!  🤔🤦‍♂️🤪

This means that I am now getting spending notifications from NatWest, but the card is still not showing in my NatWest banking app.

[I already had a NW account, so no activation code for me].

FYI, I noticed my Sainsburys card did magically appear on my NatWest account (as a Nectar card) on Sunday, and I could scroll through and see previous transactions but it seems to have disappeared today! Still, they said the 7th so I may have caught them mid-process.

For what its worth, I use my Sainsburys card as a balance transfer card and NatWest balance transfer cards are, for me at least, pretty terrible at offering ongoing offers so I'll probably close it in a couple of months time. At least Sainsburys would send an offer about once every 3 months so not too bad.

My card is now live in the NatWest app.  I'm a new customer so had to finish setup, but all looks OK.  My last D/D was Friday 3rd October and that shows correctly.

Ditto. Also my nectar account balance can be accessed with one click from the Natwest page which is much easier than prevously.

Just re-registered from scratch, no issues whatsoever and my card is showing in my account, all details correct. DD is due tomorrow so I hope there's no problem with that but that should be fine as I've seen that the name has changed from Sainsbury's to NatWest in my list of DD

I think I've been recognised as a customer but they have an old mobile number for me, codes etc. being posted instead.

My Nectar balance shows as zero though.  And if I click "See full balance" it just takes me to the install Nectar app page.  

Does not really bother me - I just have this account for some active 0% balance transfers.
