    Yet you come on here begging for people to share valuable MS routes on a widely read public forum. I don’t think you’re as wise an old dog as you think, Ash!

    Guess you are more of a cat person 🙂

    Fyi buying premium bonds with a credit card is not MS.

    Using a rewards paying credit card to fund a savings account? Of course it’s MS.

    Of course it is. That’s not open for discussion.

    You’re not “buying” premium bonds… You’re topping up a savings account.

    Indeed. It’s MS because you are using a credit card where it is not directly allowed.

    What makes it MS is intentionally withdrawing the deposit days after making it just to get rewards from the funding card.

    Isn’t that money cycling?

    Mr I never talk about MS has suddenly turned into the MS equivalent of Alan “chatty man” Carr.

    Exactly. MS is getting the points where you wouldn’t get them otherwise. What you make with the money after it is irrelevant. And by this definition using Curve to pay a credit card would not even be MS, as you can’t withdraw anything.
    But some people like to feel superior and say they don’t do MS and make up these convoluted definitions.

    I stand corrected.

    I’m not a NS&I user…i assumed Premium Bonds are Bonds! They aren’t, NS&I classify them as savings accounts.

    I do like Flight Club Hahaha 🙂
