Yes, but there are limits and some banks charge you the cash advance as they see the MCC.
Don’t Curve now charge for the privilege? I thought people used this to recycle money for rewards but then Curve introduced a cap/fee?
Also, doing this too much would be a great way to have your credit card closed down.

Depends on the plan you’re on. Metal let you do It. Free not anymore.
You can definitely do it via Free.
Add your Credit Card to Curve
Add Curve to Apple Pay
Use Revolut with the Apple Pay top-up
Sorted…
I’ve tested with 3 credit card providers, and it doesn’t seem to cause an issue. Presumably, as it shows as a normal Curve purchase, which is usually a purchase.
Most card companies. Some treat It as a cash advance due to the MCC. Can’t remember which but it was mentioned quite a while back.

Most clicked on to this and will treat as such, or just reject the payment.
And some CC providers like closing accounts linked to Curve. I know it happened a few times.

Could’ve been another company.
Edit:

Curve is such a joke.
Upgraded to black to leverage cashback offers for 3 months but the app does not let me select the merchants asking to upgrade.

Did anyone ever had any problem using barclaycard with curve? (Extra Fees, Account Closures, Payment Declined ?) Google/Apple pay is not supported so Curve seems to be the last solution.
I thought mostly debit cards worked fine but there can be a risk with credit cards as RBS for example added terms allowing them to charge but you wouldn’t use it with a credit card large purchases as you lose section 75.
There were threads on curves forum but they toasted that.
Refunds to your card can be an issue with any bank though.

Apple Pay works with Barclaycard. As for Curve, you have to enable Fronted and pay the fee, or I get straight declines. Jaja works with Curve for everything, not had any fees the last 2 months.
In case curve monitor this thread
I don’t think they do anymore but @patrice58 might have a contact.
