where do the fees for exceeding your fronting limit get charged and when – paid £10000 to HMRC in January – didnt see the reduction to £3000 before fee
After you approved your transaction directly on to your card. So instead of a 10k transaction you should see 10,175.
This just happened to me and thought I share to warn others. These are my fronted payments, assume my cycle started on 20 Dec. For context, I did a spent on 9th Jan and didn’t realise it would be fronted so got charged 13p instead. It was my mistake so no problem with that.
I have a spreadsheet that counts 31 (one extra just in case) days after my payment. Given I paid for my mistake, I assume I can start again with £400 today (31 days after 20 Dec). I just made the payment and got charged a 13p fee. That is the same fee as my errand £5 payment. So my running allowance appears to include the £5 which I was charged for!! I left them a message complaining.
I think I understood the allowance correctly, and this is their bad coding. I have not seen any comments of a similar nature (someone in the article yesterday mentioned getting lots of FX fees but he was going way above the monthly limits it is difficult to think it is the same issue). But wanted to check and I guess warn people too.
20/12/2023 400
28/12/2023 500
29/12/2023 600
31/12/2023 700
02/01/2024 600
04/01/2024 200 – accumulative £3000
09/01/2024 5 – charged 13p fee
20/12/2024 400 – charged 13p feeThey need to put the fronted spend data in the app so you can see how much you’ve spent, what have left and how long before you can make your next payment. I find the rolling 30 days so much more annoying that per calendar month.

How will they earn money from loss making customers like us then?
Looks like they haven’t charge me a fee for exceeding limit of curve fronted
I’d better keep quiet and keep to the new limitCurve has come back to me and said all fronted transaction count towards the allowance whether you paid a fee or not. I’m not going to spend more time fighting for 13p, but just thought I would share the outcome.
Worth noting that you cant change your 12 cashback partners after selecting them
Interesting. One brother’s card works, but my other brother’s did not and same issue though the 3DS came.
Other brother’s card worked last night. Very odd

I got caught out missing that tax free childcare is now under the fronted rules and so breached my limit. Assume the word tax in the title is the issue. Anyway I then assumed that my limit was available again only to be charged.
This is crazy if you spend £3k on the 1st of the month and then pay the fee to spend £3k on say 29th of the month which will then mean no fee free until 30th of the following month!
I think the same rule applies for commercial funding cards. Got caught out yesterday thinking it was £3k limit like fronted, but no its only £1500. A week away from the limit resetting, paid the fee and looks like I’ll now have to wait 30 days again. All getting a bit too complicated now for me.
It does not make sense that if you pay a fee on fronted that this counts towards the fee free allowance. You could in theory only get the free allowance once if you continually make a E3k fronted purchase every 29 days.
Anyone know what happens if you go back in time and move the paid for Fronted transaction to a fee-free card? You get the Fronted charge ‘refunded’ but what does it do to the rolling 30 days?

GBIT to a debit card and the original transaction is refunded in full.

Yup, aware of that. Just wondering if it resets the clock for the £3k limit even if you GBIT?

GBIT to a debit card should mean that the transaction is no longer counted as fronted as you do not need fronted if using a debit card as the underlying payment card.
Went over my £3000 limit. Paid £250 towards my Amex bill and got charged £256.25 with £6.25 fronted fee. Went back in time and used a debit card. It is now showing £250 when I click on my linked debit card, but when I click the £250 transaction, it says £6.25 Curve fronted fee underneath £250. What does that mean? Do I still get charged the £6.25?

The charge and note of fronted transaction still appears for information purposes I guess, but does refund in full to a debit card!
What amount is showing in your debit card and refunded to your credit card?
I know the insurance is no longer available, but for claims prior to 31/12 – what’s the actual policy re gadgets? Are they covered when on trips only, or also when you are not travelling?

Covered any time; you didn’t need to be on a trip.

Can you confirm you were only charged 250£ on your debit card in the end ?
Any non metal user seeing a massive advert for Curve Metal’s cashback on their Wallet page on the app? Can’t seem to get rid of it to see any of my underlying transactions.
Just noticed when booking a Ryanair flight (ex-UK in £), that they wanted to apply a card processing fee for using Curve Metal, but no fee for using Virgin Mastercard. Don’t think that was the case last time I booked.
No fee applied for ex-EU € return flight using Curve (through ApplePay).
Assume becuase of where Curve card is issued?
Have been using the free £1k fronted on legacy black for the past few months now until the last few days where I have been charged (definitely over the 30 day cycle, tried each day to make sure).
Was it a bug to have received £1k free fronted prior to this? Saw in previous terms for legscy black that it was part of the changes but I can’t seem to find that anymore now.
Almost ready to cancel Curve. Is there any other way I can get something back for paying Amex bill with a debit card? If not Curve, what debit card do people use to get some reward as direct debit doesn’t give anything.
