    hiya,

    Thanks for that. I just realised I have an email from vouchersent in my junk email. Will I just delete this post seeing as there's already an existing one?

    I have paid  my credit cards with MBNA, Halifax and Barclaycard  using my Santander debit card. When I click on transactions in my Santander app it classifies all the payments as purchases.  

    For example Barclaycard under Transaction details; Purchase - Domestic at Northampton. 

    When I paid my water bill to Thames Water Transactions details: Card payment to Thames.

    So I feel confident anything classified as a purchase then is fine but will discount Thames as showing only as a Card payment.

    Only 13 transactions to go now.



    All above payments now been processed and from Purchase to Card payment status they are now showing as Purchase including the Thames Water.  So have achieved my 30 purchases in three days.

    Was hoping to use Trading 212 to make some of my debit card payments as I used to for the TSB cashback but now can't see how to do so. Does anybody know if T212 have removed the pay in by debit card option?

    Worked it out. It's got a weird drop down arrow you have to click on and then pull the screen up quite far to get to the debit card options. Bit different to how I remember it! 
  • Think i will do 30 x £1 debit card payments to revolut account. Either that or 30 x £1 sainsburys gift cards on topgiftcards

    Does using the card with Apple Pay count, does anyone know? Did five transactions today in Tesco but not sure if that counts as I did it on my Apple Watch.

    Ooh that sounds like a good idea to do 30 x £1 gift cards. Is that allowed?

    Edit: You can only buy a minimum of £5 gift cards per transaction for Sainsbury’s on TopGiftCards. 
  • I tried a small payment to Progressive Building Soc yesterday and that is showing on my Santander account as a purchase.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.
  • Not had a lot of luck with Santander lately, despite them being my main bank. First the S&S ISA offer that never registered on TCB and now this. I went in via the link from the newsletter, applied for an Everyday account and the page failed to load, refreshing says it's expired. 

    I've received an email from Santander with pre-contact info and saying they need to update my email as the one from the application is different from the one on file, and nothing from the voucher company.

    Unsure if I edit my email address, attempt a new account again or just wait? Conscious the deadline is 2pm tomorrow.
