I’ve got a £250 limit and have managed to hit the £1K spend for the 5K points. I wasn’t going to hit £3K so I didn’t bother but I managed to hit 1K in less than 2 months, so I probably should’ve gone with the paid card.

Anyways, you can keep paying off the card once the transactions go through. I was getting an error message in the app when trying to pay £100 and then I logged into the website on PC to find out only £90 had been processed/completed, so I could only pay £90. Keep an eye out for that if you run into the error.
