airtime rewards

katie84741

Always one that likes a cashback app i recently discovered this one that gives you cashback in the form of mobile vouchers (including giffgaff) Has anyone else tried this . You need to link your debit card and it gives you money back instore and online at places such as morisons , boots , argos etc . Looking to save as much as possible next year for a flat deposit 🙂

katie84741 nope, I bank with santander, get between 5 to 10% cash back when use by debit card with over 40 different retailers and business, and keeps going up as more offers are added, places such as kfc, mcds, sainsbury, Costa, morrisons, airbrib, jet2 all do it with santander they run for about 12 weeks at a time, then seem to have a break for so long, then come back again, get 3 to 4 offers a year for lots of various retailers, business etc, I got 10% back with flights with jet2 and an apartment with airbrib in Barcelona couple months back through just using my santander debit card, daughter got 10% back off national express and marriot hotel for using hers, for trip to London for her and her fella so quite significant savings for us both.

katie84741 this is what a member said about airtime rewards. I've used it a few times in waitrose and have about £4 stored in it - you could cash it out at £5 but they've upped this to £10. It's a small saving but it takes them forever to authorise your payment (30 odd days) so it's not a great way to get free credit in a hurry

eileenusher Not a Santander fan .my local free bank account was alliance and leister when Santander took over they switched me to a fee paying one cleared it out and hit charge after charge on it. No warning me it took ages to sort out with them admitting they were wrong and refunding everything

akh48

eileenusher I have a Santander current account and get nothing in rewards anymore I used to get a few but had nothing for ages. I do get better rewards on my Halifax current account and got cashback on my waitrose shop which also gave me AR credit 😀

katie84741

Just an update to say that everything seems to be tracking fine , even the shops from before i set this up are showing . As an extra boost when i spent over 30 quid at morrisons its currently giving 10% back

wagstaffes

katie84741 yes, it's good isn't it. I had a referral code too so got an extra £1.50 through that. Did you use one too?

josup63

katie84741 does it only work on in store purchases? Or online purchases too? And what about online via a site like topcashback can you potential stack bot the topcashback cashback and the airtime rewards cashback for the one transaction?

katie84741

wagstaffes I wasn't referred to the site ... Guessing it might be too late to add yours ?

katie84741

richybhoy36 I was the same but it seems to be tracking shops from before I actually had my bank card added to the account. Word of warning it seems to track refunds no problem aswell lol 🙁 . I think for a few things tj cashback rate is better on other sites or for example I can buy love to shop cards through work which can be used at boots (save 7%) but this app offers less

wagstaffes

katie84741 I think you can probably still add it. I'll send it you on a private message.

katie84741

wagstaffes it came up invalid , i joined ages ago but hadnt used it . maybe i joined before you

wagstaffes

katie84741 ah yes that makes sense. I got my code from @i_am_sy maybe his code will work for you?

katie84741

wagstaffes yes his code has

katie84741

josup63 some Stores are online and in-store depends on retailer . Not sure about multiple offers. I get staff discount at Morrie's so say I spend £40 ,my shop would be £36 then I would get £3.60 back as airtime rewards .As far as I can tell in that transaction they just look at amount spent on card. I would say it's worth a try but these sites always say using other codes/offers can invalid request. Boots at the minute is 2% in Quidco etc but 5% on this , I would just go for the higher one (for me I can get lovetoshop cards so save 7%)

wagstaffes

josup63 according to an article on the Martin Lewis website, going via Quidco & Topcashback does work in conjunction with AR. However, on the AR App it does say that Morrisons is just in-store. And, honestly I can't see the 10% on £30+ shops being sustainable for them so it's probably going to drop soon. I've noticed Carphone Warehouse has disappeared from the retailer list since I joined a few weeks ago.
