Virgin Cash Advance fees about to be applied?

[MattB]

I never got any comms to say they were capping the earn rate to your credit limit years ago.

[MattB]

Purchased £100 of PB via metal on 21st June, confirmed as a purchase on my statement generated this morning.

[laughingplace]

anyone seen fees hit yet?

[Rui N.]

So far, so good. (Knocks on wood.)

[MattB]

Did another £150 earlier this week, got going to put £10k through when the metal limit resets tomorrow

Any knowledge if a Monese top-up attracts the fees whether

A: done directly with the Virgin credit card
B: Curve fronted?

I’d expect fees for A, unsure about B.

[laughingplace]

shouldn’t make a difference whether A or B as Curve passes the MCC of the transaction through so it will be categorised the same on Virgin’s side. Historically I’ve topped up Monese with Virgin via Curve without fees.

Monese only accept Debit Card,so A is not an option.

When do the additional fees appear? Are they at the same time as the transaction or when the monthly bill is generated?

Thanks!

[RobL]

Should appear in the app once the transaction is processed. Circa 3 days lag.

Anyone been hit by any new fees yet? Might be useful to compile a list of MCC codes that these new fees apply to.

The nondescript HMG services I procured on Wednesday looking very expensive for me this morning. Tuesday was a happier day. Wonder if the DeLorean will allow me to escape?

That is bad news. Was it a payment to the RC dept?

My payment to RC dept on Monday did not attract fees. In 3 days I have my monthly statement so looking forward…

Thankyou!
(Although I am perplexed about what RC is and what Pimlico has to do with it)

Just been hit by the fee. £100💀 I didn’t know about the changes!

Fee for what?

[ms]

Cash Advance fee. Curve is no more.

[CarpalTravel]

But for what type of curve use?

[slidey]

Did the charge appear as soon as the transaction was made, after the transaction had posted or at the point that the statement was generated.

God, the suspense is killing me!

[whuaremassive]

Not Virgin but I got hit today with an interest fee on my MBNA horizon today upon statement generation. It was good whilst it lasted
