  May have been answered. But would PayPal pick this card up as debit or credit. Was thinking of sending rent to my landlord via PP using the Curve with a recharge to Amex – purely for the 1000+ points per month. PP charge for credit but not debit.

    It hasn’t been answered/ tested. Same situation with payments to HMRC. Seems more likely to be picked up as a credit card payment as the shell is that of a pre-paid MasterCard.

  I can’t see Curve lasting using the current modus operandi for that long… cash advances treated as purchases (even with a fair usage limit), it’ll surely prove too good to be true! And Amex won’t be pleased if this really takes off – as a retailer, why bother accepting Amex… etc etc etc. And this seemingly lightly policed approach to what constitutes a business customer rather than a consumer in order to get around the new EU interchange fee rules just sees rather too transparent a dodge. Still, everyone enjoy it until the house of cards comes tumbling down!

  Would this work with an affiliated Lloyds Avios Amex or just the standard cards

    Should be fine with the Lloyds issued ones too although obviously for international transactions it’d cost you 1% more (rather than 2% less with the Amex issued cards)

  Anyone with this card – is it contactless? I’d be tempted to pay £35 just to be able to charge stuff to my Amex contactlessly since about the only places that allow this ‘natively’ are TfL, Boots and Pret.

  Some information about Curve that they emailed me today:

  “All of our users are initially in Group 0. Over the next few months, you should automatically move into Group 1, based on your usage patterns and risk scoring, but it takes about 2 – 4 weeks of constant usage of the card…

  After passing such checks and 2-4 weeks passing, it will increase your limits, and will allow you to pay at automatic petrol forecourts.

  The current set spend limits for the Curve card are as follows:

  £2000 per single transaction
  £3000 per day
  £5000 per month
  £200 per single ATM withdrawal”
