For your security we have restricted the number of contactless purchases that can be made in succession to 10. On the 11^th transaction you will be asked to enter your PIN, before you can continue to make more contactless purchases.

Please note that some terminals may not display this message so, on the rare occasion that you do get an error, insert your prepaid card into the card machine and enter your PIN.

Otherwise have you:-

• Got sufficient funds on the card to cover the purchase?
• Activated the card?

After receiving, activating and topping up your card with funds you will be able to start spending online or in store at our retail partners to accumulate cashback savings. Our retail partners offer you specific savings when you use your card with them. You can view those savings on your online account. When you next top up anything you have earned previously is automatically credited to your account. It usually takes about 5 – 7 days for your purchases to be processed so please don’t worry if not all of your savings appear immediately after you have spent. Sainsbury’s is the only exception to this due to their process for calculating savings, meaning the credit can take 3 – 4 weeks to process. Where possible, we will always credit your account as soon as we are advised of the savings to be awarded. .

You can monitor your monthly and yearly savings on your online account. Each time you top up, any savings you have earned will be added to your card’s balance.

No, unfortunately you only qualify for cashback at UK stores.

Some retailers have exclusions on certain purchases – a full list can be found on the website under Retailer Exclusions.

Cashback that this card offers will only be paid whist you are eligible and therefore will be lost if you become ineligible for the Card.

Yes, all other retailer loyalty schemes and offers can be used alongside your card for cashback.

Should you require an additional card for your account, you can register one additional cardholder on the ‘Get an Additional Card’ tab on the website. Please note that this person needs to be living at the same address and charges for this service may vary.

The funds will be taken from your bank account on the first working day of each month. The money will be available for you to spend on the next working day.

You can also amend the amount of your direct debit at any time – simply log on to your online account and then select the “Direct Debit” tab.
