Curve usage

[joepatr]

Hi all

Does anyone know if usage via Curve in a foreign currency counts toward the introductory bonus (£3k spend over 3 months?)

Secondly, will Barclaycard charge for any cash point withdrawals, either in GBPs or a foreign currency, via Curve?

Thanks

1) should count to the intro bonus, dont see why not
2) no, do you have a paid curve? check their terms

Thanks for prompt reply.

I don’t have a paid for Curve but you get a limited free amount anyway. I was more asking about whether Barclaycard, not Curve, would implement a change for ATM use, when using Curve.

It didn’t charge anything back in May, the last time I tried it. If you want to know, there’s nothing better than trying it.

Thanks!

Have done it a few times but I wasn’t sure if it would be obvious until I got my statement. I made the mistake of topping up my Revolut through HSBC Premier Credit card and ended up getting stung by a charge, despite topping it up with my Lloyds Avios MasterCard (as was) and paying nothing for it. I only found out on statement issue!

@rui N.

Do you mean for withdrawals? Thanks

[Rui N.]

Yes.

No problems or fees when using Curve when I did it. (Well, not from Barclaycard anyway.)

Barclaycard charged me 2.99% cash fee for a PayPal payment using curve (it was person to person transfer). Any experience if Barclaycard would refund the fee if I went back in time and moved the transaction to a debit card?

You can try but if it doesn’t work I honestly wouldn’t poke BC unless you really need the money back, just rack it up to experience and don’t do it again. They do seem sensitive to certain Curve uses.

I’ll give a try but as you said I won’t be calling them if the fee is not reversed. Wouldn’t want a human to see all the blatant MS 🙊
