I only just noticed on my app it's asking me to add a subscription to my card to receive the 1.5% cashback, is this new? I'd never set up a subscription from thte 212 card before and have been getting the 1.5%cashback?

Also would a monthly sim deal count as a subscription?

    Yep, new rule to qualify for cashback, needs a MONTHLY subscription to something. Others (not me) have had this email from them:

    "We're changing our Cashback Terms, which will take effect from 1st August 2026. From this date, your cashback rate will drop to 0% unless you meet both of the new eligibility criteria as set out in the Cashback Terms*:
    

    Have an active Eligible Subscription processed via your Trading 212 Card, and
    

    Activate the Invest Cashback feature in your account"

    I'd think so. Not for telecoms but I have three monthly debit card subs coming out and the app has spotted them and added them to a section which lists them as subscriptions and how regular they are - two are shown as monthly whilst the third is erroneously shown as quarterly. Worst case you should know quite quickly whether or not it qualifies.

    Just noticed this in the app (I've not received any email). Is it for any subscription, or only for those listed in the app?

    Which list are you referring to? The one with just Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, AppleTV+, YouTube Premium and PlayStation? If so then no, you can definitely have others.

    Does Patreon count? And how soon does it take to update typically (the bit that says 'x' out of 2 set up for setting up cashback investing and a recurring card payment).

    I see some tracked cashback despite having only set up one of two at the moment 🤷

    Noticed that it's updated this morning 👍

    I accidentally made a payment with T212 debit card yesterday (the card details were pre-filled from previous payment) and was surprised to see the 1.5% cashback tracking (still pending as the card payment itself is still pending).
    I have had cashback invest enabled for some time now to get 1.5%. However I have not set up any CPA-style subscription on the card.
    Checking out the cashback terms ("Offer Terms") in the app and it still states "Valid till 31 July 2026".

    This is just a fun anecdote. I won't be complaining if T212 ultimately reclaims/removes this accidental August cashback.
