No I understand that now. Shame, I won’t be using it.
Here’s a funny one - I bought a couple of cuppas on an LNER train using an Amex card, which is connected to my Monzo account.
No cashback from Amex (because I accidentally paid with the one which didn’t have an active LNER cashback offer), but I do appear to have received some via Monzo, where I had an 8% offer.
It looks like you can’t double-dip, because when I used my other Amex card (which does have LNER cashback), it didn’t post on Monzo too.
I wonder if this is a bug or a feature. I’ll have to get down to Monica Vinader to experiment…
I did use the Boots 3% one yesterday when I unexpectedly had to replace my glasses
£3.30 made it slightly less painful!
Does it not work with your monthly subscription then?
The Netflix one I got did.
Edit: Ah, that might be because Netflix isn’t a DD!
Looks like they sell cherries on sticks. Is that right?
The LNER one never goes away for me when it expires… I’ve had it for about 2/3 months or so now
First rule of Fight Club is that you never talk about Fight Club. I’ve just lost my LNER cashback and I’m blaming you.
And the second rule
I’m on tenterhooks here with my Disney plus. Current offer expires 5 days before my subscription goes out. Will there be a new one afterwards that I can actually use, or will they continue to taunt me every month whilst never letting me actually use the offer?
I even tried cancelling my subscription, thinking I could then start a new one a few days early to make use of the offer. But there is no way to start a new one until after the final month of the old one expires, by which time the cashback offer will have expired too. You can only cancel the cancellation. Essentially, there’s no way to change the payment date aside from actually cancelling and losing access for a while whilst you wait for your preferred date to come around.
Can you not set up a new Disney account using a different email address so that it starts just before the cashback offer ends? Of course does mean losing your profiles and watch history.
I could, but it’s not worth it for me for the 15% cashback. If I really wanted it, I’d be more inclined to deal with cancelling temporarily than losing my account info and having to use a different email address.
It’s not that big a deal, I just like to complain about it here as it’s a very frustrating experience to be constantly reminded of an offer that always goes away a few days before it’s any use, and when it’s so consistent over time, it feels like either a problem with the system or intentional to get out of giving the cashback.
Well, I can use a couple of these, but I’m not sure whether the supermarket 2% is even worth bothering with
Of course it is. It’s free money with no effort.
I got 100% delay repay on some train tickets that had 10% cashback via LNER, which was nice.
On the other hand, my Spotify subscription came through 16 hours after the cashback deal expired.
Oooooo McDonalds!
That will certainly get used. Not so much Coventry City Football Club
To be fair my cashback offers now are fairly good with a lot I would use:
- McDonalds
- Gousto
- Holland and Barrett
- Leon
- Tesco
- Pret
- Wasabi
- Honest Burger
- Franco Manca
- Disney+
- Currys
- Uber Eats
And others that I probably wouldn’t use.
Still, for all the complaints it’s a decent list.
