Woo 2nd Thread to hit to a Part 2 I think
Yeah, it told me it hit 10,000 replies and so was closing part 1
I can think of three. Chase, starling, and card design.
I know, but I am trying to cut down on open accounts just sitting around. Chase is an exception for now as I can’t come back. Starling/Monzo I don’t care about to the same extent. But that’s for a different thread.
The Chase Community is also quite unhappy it seems.
Mulitple threads about the changes to cashback on the MSE forum.
All pretty much saying the same thing though.
MSE have even turned it into a news article -

Aha. Didn’t clock the relevance of the capital C on Community when I first read it.
Just visited said forum and saw your comment. Let’s see what response it gets
Probably nothing from Chase themselves
Agree. Don’t think their staff engage with the community at all tbh
I was somewhat tempted to message support with some feedback but I don’t think it’d go anywhere.
Imagine if you single handedly managed to get Chase to revert.
I’m not alone in being upset about this!
I could see a bit of an exodus to the RBS/NatWest reward accounts over this. At least they pay you £3/month alongside a very similar range of things on the 1%, and 0.25% on everything else.
I was planning on a Chase UK Account but not anymore!
Did people really get the full £15? And if you did, surely you still get a decent portion of that for food/fuel etc?
If you were spending £1500 a month and most of that wasn’t living costs, you really don’t need to worry about losing a tenner!
Think zopa has a £400 daily cash withdrawal limit includes UK and abroad.
I never received £15 cashback from Chase.
I did, however, regularly hit £15 cashback from my Santander Edge credit card.
Personally, the changes to the cashback do not faze me tbh. I am not upset over it as I was prepared for its amendment in some form because that is the downwards spiral Chase are progressing atm.
Perhaps I am in a more fortunate position than some in as much as I don’t need to scramble around for the odd pence to boost my income. Yes, I do jump a few hoops each month to attain some of the easier perks in life, such as the Halifax Rewards £5x3, and the Disney+ with ads from Club Lloyds but, in general, I survive quite comfrotably on my pension, at present. Rich though, I am not
Yeah, I assume the incoming cashback changes will even affect those within the first 12 months of their new account.
I have not investigated that assumption, but I guess the new criteria will apply to newcomers as well as us who were there from day one in the UK.
Pretty much. I changed a lot of my direct debit bills to card payments and hit it that way. I would probably average £13 in reality.
Santander now edges with direct debit cashback and the groceries/transport etc. Chase used to edge as it covered everything and included abroad.
