    A £3k limit for what? FX?

    38 posts

    Can anyone clarify the Foreign ATM withdrawal fees on Metal after the changes. As I understand it, It’s a £1000 per rolling 30 day, plus 2% of the withdrawal. Or is it 2% for withdrawals after the first £1000
    Thanks

    A £3k limit for what? FX?

    Fronted for metal

    FX is fair use up to £100k per annum.

    Yes @TGLoyalty, but he seems to be referring to Black Legacy, and we’ve never had a fronted allowance but always had an unlimited fair useage FX allowance. So the comment confused me somewhat.

    Just to clarify, my Standard free has no fee free 10k anymore? Should I have it ready for ice scraping or does it have any other use?

    As the title says, I believe you have until 10th Nov to use the ‘current’ allowance

    Also bear in mind Curve pays £70 for the production of your ice scraper (cited from another HfP user)

    The free curve subscription has not had a fee free fronted allowance for years.

    Does anyone have an opinion on how the rolling 30 day 3k fronted allowance will be calculated when the new terms kick in (15th Nov for me)?

    Wondering if 5k paid on 1st Nov will be considered.

    We all have opinions but we won’t know until the new terms are updated.

    Still pretty much this:

    Only variation is when the new terms are dated for, as like for you and me, there are slight differences.

    Free 10k what?

    Abroad. I should have said.

    I’m quite late to this. I have Metal but I only use it when travelling, for some cash at ATMs and for some Amex payments. Will these been impacted from 10th November? Also, if anyone has cancelled without the penalty fees could you please share?

    It’s in the PDF and they should have e-mailed you about it. I don’t have Metal so haven’t paid attention to those changes, but they’re on this thread.

    The free card didn’t have 10k free FX (assuming that’s what you meant).,

    Given the imminent switch to 30 day rolling period does anyone know if the fronted spend will be tracked or is up to us to maintain a log? Bit unreasonable you could argue but this may be their way to make some money

    1,073 posts

    1. How would anyone know if it is going to be tracked?
    2. It wasn’t tracked before when it was calendar months, what makes you think they’ll get their act together now?

    Curve has just deactivated my curved fronted option in the app and I have no way to activate it back (throws up a pop up error box)

    They are messing with something – I have just had a random notification from the app about the “new” Fronted feature.

    Believe you me, I am quite well-aware of Fronted already.

    Does Curve give you any warning if a fronted tranx is going to take you over the free limit ?

    Not in my experience. You just get charged the fee for the amount that’s over the limit.

    When I clicked the notification, it told me I had £10k a month of fee-free fronted transactions. I have screenshotted for posterity. Does that mean the 15 Nov changes have been cancelled? Or are Curve just being incompetent (or, worse, baiting and switching)

    Not like Curve to be incompetent or anything…

    @kt74 – the new terms haven’t yet come into effect so the screenshot you have taken is correct as at today so I’m not sure what the “incompetence” is. The changes will come into effect on 15 November according to Version 3, the iteration formally sent to me and currently on the website.

    Exactly this.

    I’m on the free Curve and got the same notification. When clicking through it told me I could turn on fronted at 1.5% a pop, whilst advertising the option to upgrade to metal touting the 10k fee free fronted allowance.

    Given this is changing in 6 days I’d say that’s very much bait and switch tactics.
