Forums Payment cards Virgin Atlantic Perkbox/employee discount voucher schemes

    Apologies if this has been asked before.

    I’m new to the forum and VA credit card. Before getting this card I used to use either perkbox or rewards gateway to purchase vouchers for my weekly shop, instead of discounts I opted for points, and saved them up asking with clubcard and nectar points and use that to buy Christmas presents etc.

    I was reading the trend and conditions and not sure if buying these on this platform would constitute a cash payment, therefore charge interest and fees straight away, in which case I would avoid it.

    Anyone have any experience in this?

    Appreciate your help.

    Only thing ive had issues with and got a cash advance fee for was Klarna.
    I wanted the payment to hit the next statement period due to the max credit cap, and ended up paying 5% fee.
    Anything like this I would just do a small txn going forward or ask on here.
