Plutus and Curve

[Wally1976]

After reading comments on here last week, I’m giving Plutus a go to get £10 of my monthly Curve Metal fee refunded.

Am I correct in thinking I just need to add my Plutus virtual card number to my Curve wallet and set it as the card for the Curve subscription? Is that it? Appreciate there is going to be a £6.99 fee for this going forwards (Plutus are changing their terms).

Yes that’s correct. You’ll receive the sub rebate in the form of PLU, added to your account.

[Wally1976]

Thanks EwanG. So the only snag is that the £10 is in PLU (crypto) and the value of it could change before withdrawal?

You might as well sign up to the £9.99 everyday subscription.

You can choose 2 supermarkets (including many others retailers) and get £20 refunded plus upgraded monthly £500 a month spend at 3% back too.

Also you can get a tenner for referral signup bonus if you haven’t already:

Yes, the value could go up or down.
Cashback for purchases takes 45 days before it becomes payable, I think you also need to wait the same time for perk cashback to become payable too!

In addition, there’s a small fee for PLU withdrawals to factor in, when you want to do that.

Great, thanks for the info folks 👍

The problem is, the Plutus value will almost always go down before you can cash out, plus there are a lot of fees involved. With the new fees, I don’t think there’s much value left here.

Agreed Dr Tom, I think for anyone already on one of the stacking reward tiers, they are well looked after (and the higher the tier, the more so), but for anyone not yet on the Hero tier, the time and effort to get onto the first rung are now excessive because the benefits are so constrained!
