  My Curve card does not seem to be working since last weekend. Do you need to update the app or anything or should it just now work?

    update required

    @Pid, pop along to your app store and you should see a Curve update. Bloody marvellous stuff.

      I’m still shocked at the £1,500 every month on champers from M&S, that you mentioned above, just to get a rebate on your Curve metal fee. You are living the dream, Fiona. First Class Fiona indeed!!

        @Andrew L, I don’t spend that much on champers every month old bean but one has to entertain with appropriate beverages. I also use my other five retailers to try and cover the monthly fee.

        What you can also do is spend £1,500 on items that are easily returned and refunded. Guess what happens to your Curve points on a refund? That’s right, nothing! They aren’t reclaimed and they stay in your Curve cash. If that isn’t bloody tremendous, I don’t know what is.

        Bottoms up!

          That is really stretching the limits of morality for me. Costing curve money and they get nothing in return. How to make them go bust…

          If your any good at this game you’ll make Curve Metal pay you nicely each month.

      Been having a problem paying HMRC VAT lately, any idea how to get around this error:

      Sorry, there is a problem with the service
      You can select another payment option or try again later.

      It comes up after entering curve card details, occasionally I get a payment through but wondered if there is a trick to it (on curve metal). Thanks

        Daz,
        I find that when I have neglected to pay, or more usually genuinely can’t be arsed to cough up. I get the inevitable reminder to pay, that sending an email along the lines of;

        ” Dear HMRC, Thank you for contacting me, I am away on leave, traveling through time and will be returning last week” generally confuses the average civil servant, and gives me more time to enjoy a jar or three with Geoff in my local.

  Kudos to Curve.

  I had a refund reaching my Curve card on Friday, June 26th. (Merchant issued it some earlier in the week). I see it today reflecting on my underlying card.

  I was prepared not to see this for months (if Wirecard Card Solutions accounts were in administration and client money not properly ringfenced).

  Truly impressive.
