  More like “may” get free breakfast: “Breakfast may be included in some hotels”

  I’m seeing it included at some Novotel but not Mercure

    I’m looking at the Pullman in Miami and no free breakfast there either.

  Does anyone know how credit card transfers to Starling are treated? That’s if you can make them! Thanks.

    Sorry, I mean credit card payments, really.

  • Rob says:

    I believe it is debit card only, because it is a ‘proper’ current account (in the same that you can’t pay into a HSBC current account with a credit card).

  Random question I appreciate And maybe it’s the sub but ….

  On the Amex refer a friend, can you refer yourself to another card, so long as it’s not the same family? …say amex plat to amex SPG???

      How did I not know this?!? All the points I have missed out on!!!

  It wouldn’t surprise me if card companies started applying such fees to curve either with the excuse that a curve transaction could be a cash withdrawal. If you think about it credit cards have absolutely no reason to play nice with curve but very good reasons to make their life as difficult as possible.

    Amex already have pulled out on allowing Curve top ups. I guess others may follow. But for Visa/MC based card issuers they get the fees if you use Curve regardless, and loose a potential section 75 liability. Win win!

      You don’t ‘topup’ with curve, it recharges transactions directly to the card. And Amex pulled out about two years ago, mostly due to teething problems and Amex having to deal with complaints due to double charging, etc. (From myself included) creating a customer service headache.

      I see little reason for others to treat Curve as cash, as Curve themselves have T&Cs against cash recycling and the majority of transactions are therefore purchases, but you never know. As you rightly state, it’s a win for the card co., as they get the normal transaction fees, and have no S75 liability.

  If other car issuers start including “loan repayments” it’ll be a bit disappointing.

  It’s quite a handy little points or cash option on my Audi Finance. They allow users to log-in and make their monthly repayment instead of the DD being taken.

  For the Accors Super Sale, is it me or is the website’s calendar can only go up to 2nd September, which for Asia Pacific properties, it should go beyond that… up to June 2019? Anyone has any luck to book beyond September on this promotion?

  Just had every tesco transaction via curve since June 1 hit with a fee..

• Mark says:

  Ditto Dave, “Just had every tesco transaction via curve since June 1 hit with a fee..” marked as Cash Advance Fee on my a/c even for restaurants etc..from recent holiday.

  Spoke to Tesco and they cant / wont do anything.

  Ended up using Go Back In Time feature on Curve to allocated to a different card.
