Is Curve spending safe?

Another benefit is that you can use Curve on Garmin Pay (for sports watch users)

I was able to add it today, as far as I know nothing changed… Oh well.

Does anyone have any data points on when a cash advance charge would show? Is it immediately or only with your statement

Telling you this Barclaycard mob will never make it with their issues. lol Anyway so got the card 2 weeks after the ‘we need o check message’ tried to register on the app but needs my pin but need into the app for the pin and their own website does not recognise the card number, on hold for 30 minutes still trying to get someone, see if it was not for the points i would have just made an official complaint to remove any footprint and binned.

So Curve, managed to add this card after a few tries. I have used curve for years and never any bother at all using a linked card.

So, how do you use a Curve card with no linked cards?

Refer lots of people and just spend curve cash?

1m shillings – what denomination are the notes?! That reminds me of when I used to go and stay with family in Rome and they still used the lira!

Withdrawing Vietnamese Dong was even more surreal… When we turned up at the airport the first thing I did was withdraw 6M!

I’ve linked my Avios Bcard to Curve and have used it without issue so far. I have Avios from both Euro spend in Germany and Dollar spend in the US.

I’m most impressed you travelled 52 years and 4 months into the future to edit that post.

Well its not “safe” in terms of I got charged a cash advance fee for topping up my Revolut account. Ive gone back in time to a debit card so will see if I can get some of those fees back or if its just a lesson learned.
