    How do you do this? There’s no option to transfer to a bank account?

    Depends which network you’re with. I only get the option to transfer to one of the linked cards on my Airtime Rewards account, so added my Revolut debit card just for that purpose. I’ve never had the option to transfer to my Virgin Mobile account, which suits me just fine.

    When Airtime Rewards was new, it was entirely possible to generate unlimited rewards with little effort or outlay. Transferring your bounty to your network (£20 at a time!) worked well, with no monthly cap, meaning you could quite easily get your phone bill covered into the 2040s if you wanted to. At the time, getting the mobile statement credit transferred to bank account was an out, but I think a stop was put to that.

    Another way was to top up gaming accounts using your mobile phone number then withdrawing to bank account, but these days it won’t be entertained unless you convert the deposit into winnings. However unless you’re comfortable with arbitrage to make this process pay, or losing a small percentage by getting all outcomes covered without arbitrage, it’s not for everyone.

    Always ways to do things by thinking outside of the box.

    Switching to the Sky network on the app has meant I can withdraw to a credit card 🙂

    I have just checked my app and Sky is not an option in the networks list?

    Can also top up payg credit with Airtime credit and use PAYG credit to:
    1) top up itunes account for any of your apple subscriptions
    2) charity donations by text message – if you do them anyway use your mobile credit instead and keep the cash

    Morning All,

    Airtime rewards has a “coming soon” message for American Express when you add an Amex card. Can’t see anything in the press or on google about when this is likely to actually happen. Anyone have any intel?

    I wouldn’t hold your breath. It has said that for the past few years.
