Mastercard Deals & Offers

Because with a code groupon sent me it knocked £1.50 off so that is £11.50 free cash

I've had a curve card for a few years now. Still don't get the point of it.

It’s the same deal for the consumer, who cares?

Agreed why pay groupon any money when you can get £10 by typing in free5. What a joke. This is not market leading but still allowed by hotukdeals

Looks like it to me

It’s possible to get 10% off amazon gift card with the right know how

Can't see anything on either my Amazon account or my Amazon Platinum Mastercard account

Nice. Thanks for this. I'm about to make a big purchase so will do so on my Amazon card. I've got the £20 for £350 spend. It's automatic as well so no opt-in required.

On mobile quite often these amazon gift card offers don't show, however if you request desktop site then you shall see it. This is what I have done but can't see an option to check if i ameligible or not. May try laptop tomorrow

Shows this for me But can't click on anything (I just went to the page would it do it automatically) ?

I’m getting 25 up on my VM 200 package but it seems I’m very lucky

Has BT sport been dropped. I thought it was a free bundle when you join BT Broadband/Fibre?

It’s guaranteed 100mbps so no idea why if your unhappy you haven’t called them. Also believe if your service itself I.e upgrade from the lower speed to faster speed wasn’t completed properly you can get £5 a day compo.

Go read their own terms and conditions.... You must be the lucky one.

Not in my tests, my upload is a solid 37meg (tested for many hours continously streaming at 4k etc, and downloads always hit 390meg

Didn't get the TCB

Seen good speeds on BT mobile too. I’m on a extra speed plan

I was told the very same thing. I just purchased the 20GB deal last week with the £80 reward card. Activated it today and here are two speedtest that I did. And here's what I was getting with Three who I cancelled to move to BT Mobile. Ironically, this is the best speedtest I ever got with them at home. My average was between 0.43Mbps to 1.43Mbps. So yeah, it's supposed to be capped at 60Mbps, but I'm getting 80Mbps on average and between 40-80x more than what I was getting on Three!

Hi, I called BT, and they offered me the below. Two BT 100GB sims for £35. This is a family sim package with the usual unlimited calls, unlimited texts, and BT Sports). This price includes the BT Broadband £5 discount. As I also have BT Plus, they doubled my data allowance...so both me and my partner get 200GB each. For the price, this works out about £17.50 each, which is not bad. So its definitely worth phoning BT and haggling with them

A new PB!

The advantage of WeSwap (to me) was that I could convert and hold foreign currencies. I have a pot of Euros and Dollars from when the pound was worth something.

I use this when I go on holiday!! https://www.sainsburysbank.co.uk/travel/cash-passport

got one recently via moneysavingexpert with £10 bonus for loading £50 and fee free currency swaps for six months subject to waiting 7 days before withdrawing. Link is still active There is still a fee for ATM withdrawals of less than $200 or €200.

Not sure you could do this without doing a currency exchange. Maybe if you moved it from £ to another currency and back again it could work. Obviously the fees would be taken so you would probably only get a few £ profit, unless you timed it to make a profit on the exchange rate. Now is not a good time as the £ is very weak.

Terrible customer service?

I've gone for it anyway - worth a shot! Thanks!

Not applied yet, got to wait 30 days. I'd be surprised if it doesn't though.

OP did you get the prepay card on this as in the Vitality T&Cs it looks like it's not compatible with any Garmin offers?

Love my 530. Amazing little unit. Decent metrics. Easy to use. I bought an after market mountain bike mount for mine and it sits well and out of the way in my handlebars. I looked at the wahoo. I liked the LED idea, but the 530 managed to beat it for my needs. I’ve added 3rd party maps to mine for off road use. It’s made a huge difference. And it works perfectly with a chest strap, cadence sensor, speed sensor etc for further metrics.

I can vouch for them being pretty rugged - I bought a cheap "out front" mount which failed and flipped my 530 into the middle of the road. Luckily it wasn't driven over, but while bruised it still works fine.

I got plantuim don't know how. Used credit soon as recieve card it's in the bin

Had the card for a couple of weeks (was a £50 voucher for me) and had no issues with it. Only use it for Amazon and the app lets you pay off the balance with no issue. It seems like only those who set it up for DD repayments have had issues.

Fantastic deal! £30 for free!

How can you not cancel a credit card???!!

I didn't. The 30 quid just sat on the account until I used it. Item I bought was 48 quid so just paid 18 quid difference from the account I normally used. Don't have to use the credit card in any way

Cheers

It was confirmed at 30 days. Delivered by 35. It was black. Didn’t open to see it though. Sold it sealed.

How long did you wait for speaker the answers from chat range from 14 days to 45 days after starting contract?

Speaker and card both received fine. Sold speaker on eBay for £70 on eBay. Used gift card to buy amazon vouchers... didn’t want to loose the card / forget to use it.

I had two BT accounts on one log in and that caused a few problems.

My reply was aimed at your fscs remark. I only travel europe so their other fees do not effect me. They also use the mastecard rate and I don't have to worry about moving cash over to pay cc off as it's already in my current account. I have metrobank acc just for holiday cash everything else is in variety of accounts etc. My opinion only of course.

It’s a fact that this works worldwide and metrobank is only free in the eu. For the rest of the world they charge a rip off 2.75% and a cash machine fee of £1.50. Withdraw a tenner and thats a whopping 17.8% charge. Clarity even if paid a month later would be about 5 pence. People can choose I’m afraid. As for the fscs yes that’s my opinion. But with a 90% share loss it would seem shareholders would agree. I have nothing against Metro they have good savings account but for outside the eu they are a rip off. If I don’t have either account I’m not going to open a metro account over this if its just for Foreign currency as it would be a worse deal. In my humble opinion of course.

Thats your opinion.

Cash will be paid first. Always higher intetest and intetest that accumulates first will be paid. They did use to do it the other way round always paying the cheaper interest first but then you could have £2000 interest free and make a £30 cash withdrawal and that would sit there charging interest until the whole lot is paid off. The regulator said anti competitive which it is. This works good worldwide. Anyway the way metrobank is going you’ll be using the fscs not in the distant future.

How would paying off a cash advance quickly work if you also use it for purchases? For example, you have a balance of £100 from buying some stuff, then a few days later take out £100 of currency abroad. Once that currency transaction appears (check using online banking / app I presume?) do you have to now quickly pay off £200 to clear the whole lot, or just the £100 from the currency?

Would this work with a mastercard prepaid?

A bit of a generalisation here I know, but the amazon credit cards are done by NewDay - and despite having cards with them for a number of years for other high street retailers like House Of Fraser and Debenhams - and the fact that my salary has almost doubled since taking those cards out and I have a very good credit rating - they denied me a card - telling I failed the credit check - without caring to explain why. I opened a case with their team and after 3+ months of so called diligence they said we can't do much as you didn't meet the criteria, then I asked the ombudsman to step in, and its still ongoing. This has been now going on for more than 4 months - leading to much frustration, possibly a mark on my credit file and what not. Again I know a massive generalisation, but I am not going to touch them with a barge pole - since then I have also returned their other CC and decided not to do any business with them.

If you get the gift card for just signing up & being accepted without the need to make a card transaction then the best thing is to cut it up as soon as it drops through the door if you're concerned about running up a debt.

It has no effect on your score (so they said) to find out if you would be accepted, but if you are, and plan to make a purchase where you could use the £25 gift card (known to be an instant credit at times) £25 fer 5 minutes (tops) on a keyboard?, not the end of the world methinks.

As a single retired person, with a £24000 per year income, my friend (via google chrome) has just been told he wasn't eligible. I think it's considered a positive to have a credit card, leastways it's a NEGATIVE not to have one, in the world of credit scores. I suspect you could big-up yer income to get the card (so the £25 gift card) if yer could be bothered? I remember when I applied to this company (Newday) and hit the wrong key when I input my DOB, (a guaranteed fail you would have thought) but it went through...I only picked-up on it when I had to input my dob (after I had a card) to log-in, and input the CORRECT date, and Newday (when I called em?) shut me down XD

Yeh that’s true but a lot of the time I’ve found that skim reading means they quickly process the credit. It’s just those annoying occasions where you get those few people who post random responses not relating to the query at all, but a quick reply usually sorts those out.

Live chat for me. I didn't choose email support for these issues as they always skim read instead of trying to solve the problem.

Did you chat to them on live chat or via email? On the couple of accounts we have as a family, 1 or 2 they added the credit straightaway and the rest they brought up the Amazon platinum mastercard offer and said to contact new day. All were via email and it was just a simple case of replying back and telling them to stop sending standard replies and actually look at the screenshot as that shows it was a different promotion and voila, credit was added.

It does work, but depends on who you get. I had 4 accounts with Amazon Assistant and MasterCard promotions both missing. 1 CS rep added on both credits without much issues, screenshot was fine. However, 1 CS rep insisted the Amazon Assistant offer was expired and the other one tried to force me to give the MasterCard link. It took me so long to try and get them to honour it but they did eventually, just have one more account to go.

I found that emailing them with a screenshot worked for getting the credit on the few accounts that I had.

Same here I move on 28th June..and just found out I can only have BT! Soo annoying as I could have haggled with Sky for a better Broadband deal ;(

I was initially told the same for the previous tech deal (including a JBL sound bar) but then they eventually agreed to it for an 18 month re-contract

Has any existing BT customer (out of contract) attempted to get this deal? I called the retention department and was told this is only for *NEW* customers. Any options?

No idea why this is so cold, but I'm guessing just for the sake of it. Good deal imo.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2019

Showing as 646 Euros now

I'm getting 549 euros - which is about £485 if you pay with a fee free card

Coming in at quite a bit more now @endothecat I'm afraid

Switched back to BT after a couple of years with sky. Sky was 33mbps & now back to BT 23mbps. Is their equipment crap?

Agreed. Best signal from any router I have had. I used EE, Pluset, TalkTalk, Now and BT. Vodafone is next! Loyalty does not pay, so I always move (but am fortunate in having 2 broadband connections at home). This, to me is a poor deal. Which one of these tech items costs £149? All are available for less. The Vodafone offer: £100 Amazon voucher, £35 TCB works out at £13.50 a month. I will use the BT router. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/vodafone-fibre-broadband-2123pm161-after-everything-100-amazon-gift-card-and-35-topcashback-3230216

What free gift?

Signed up, how do I get the free gift?

If someone wants to Join Monzo use my link and we both will receive £5 https://join.monzo.com/r/zylci83

You pay dearly only if you are careless. In fact, without a fee-free card the EXTRA amount you pay is smaller than with a fee-free card.

Yes, but unless you have a fee-free card you will still pay dearly for it.

No deal here. Happy to keep letting the monza etc take that revenue.

Absolutely different incomparable things. There are two types of charges on foreign currency transactions 1. Your card is charged in local currency. Mastercard/Visa rate is used for conversion, extra charge added by your bank 2. Merchants offer you to pay in £ instead of local currency and use their own, bad for you, rate for conversion (DCC) Mastercard/Visa rate is good, close to the interbank one. Halifax doesn't add (1) for Clarity transactions. You can and always was able to refuse to pay in £, thus avoiding (2). Just check what amount and in what currency your are asked to authorise.

My 12 months contract was due to an end and that gave us the opportunity to get a new contract on her name simple. Now I am waiting to switch from Sky and BT is having some massive issues as they aren't able to connect me for the past 3 weeks (I don't have broadband or landline active because of that )

But once you're beyond minimum contract term you're on 30 days notice, so your wife taking it on must have superseded that. Unless you gave notice 30 days previously? Or they charged you for an extra 30 days at the end?

No, my contact was due to and end so my wife's contract was starting on the day after. Now I know that even if u had a BT at some time in the past, then u switched to other providers and u are coming back to BT they recognise u as a NEW customer

Did either of you have to say you were moving house or did she just sign up and it automagically ended your contract?

I signed up yesterday, does anyone know how to pay for the line rental upfront? Can't seem to find out how to do it when i have logged on

Well youd pay the tariff in full...like any phone tariff you take out.

I'd also like to know. If I cancel my broadband say in 3m would my bill go up by £5 automatically??

Apologies again..... I got an £80 reward card, but now its dropped to £75.......

Apologies for the misunderstanding.....I was just stating that my previous encounter was with BT Broadband where I got all the goodies delivered with no issues at all, twice infact as I moved my Father over to BT Broadband too.... I tried myself to get the £15 20gb Sim through Quidco but like you said the BT reward card then disappeared. I've opted for the 20gb sim deal with the £70 BT reward card, still makes it less than a tenner a month which I think is quite good. Cheers

Need a photoshot of this deal as it says £70 bt reward card and topcashback will not be paid as it disappears as it will pay 1 of the only.Where does it mention the tablet.Fake news I think but hope it's true!

The offer is currently £10, unless you are an Amazon Prime member in which case it is £30

Do you have to deposit anything before you get the £30?

£30 is customer oriented, marketing plot. You just have to log in every week to check out the latest deal for you

£30 for me ;)

I got this just before xmas with £30 credit
