Thanks for Detailed video.
I’m a beginner service user and it was my main card, with the introduction of the new restrictions, limitation, fees and also plans cost increase it becames useless.. 1.000.000% better REVOLUT. Thanks for the video even if i don’t be agreed with your point if view❤
Thank you for sharing it
My pleasure!
Great video;
Can I use the Curve in Sweden? And if so, would it be a great way to use it?
Can you use this on watch 5
I didn’t received curve card the only card I have received is Samsung pay card so I don’t know how to upgrade it to curve metal
Will I get charged a fronted fee if I use a debit card to directly pay a credit card because my debit card gets cash back on all spending?
(aka get cashback on both the debit and credit card)
Nope, debit cards should be absolutely fine to pay off credit cards as that is your money to spend.
Credit cards are a form of borrowing, so credit card companies don't want you paying off credit by using more credit somewhere else (otherwise you could just keep on doing this and never actually pay off your debt).
What are your thought on Curve Metal? In short I really want a metal card and Curve seems to be offering the best deal for me.
Get it it’s good
The reason I got Curve when it was in beta four years ago was that they promised to one day get AMEX on board. Still waiting!
Yeah it's a weird one - many people don't use AMEX so it doesn't really matter to them, but for those of us that do it's really quite frustrating! Unfortunately I can't ever see AMEX coming back on board - they just lose out on too many retailer fees.
@@jamieroundtheworld problem is, I keep running into retailers that don't accept amex. It's just lose lose for the customer at the moment.
Have you looked into MCO visa card?
have you used your tesco debit card through curve at tesco stores or fuel ,if so how does affect the clubcard points
I actually don't own the Tesco card anymore, but I would try and test how the club card points work - I'm not sure whether Tesco would recognise the Curve card and award you the points unfortunately. Maybe do a couple of transactions and see if you get the points, or just contact Curve within the app and ask them - they are usually pretty quick to respond.
On fuel - Curve will generally be declined at automatic pay-at-pump machines because it currently has restriction put on it for pre-authorisation. This is actually one thing I forgot to mention that sucks.
@@jamieroundtheworld thanks im not sure so will give it try
There was a big deal for them to cancel/delete accounts and accounts were not actually deleted and details still "there"
Another thing is sending people commercial cards instead of personal (more money for them during transactions)
I will try this card but I think in the end it will be used as easy controlled card for my teenage daughter (instead of paying for revolut junior account)
With an adult Revolut account you get one Revolut junior card but if you want two or more Revolut junior accounts then you do need to pay
you went to Hong Kong , didnt you ?
Yes :)
Curve are now charging £4.99 for the physical card :(
Thanks for the update, that really sucks!
@@jamieroundtheworld Yeah it's a shame and I just found out my phone doesn't support NFC! Maybe it's time to buy a phone that doesn't suck! anyway I signed up with your code and at least I can use the virtual card online unless I want to buy the card at some point
I'm still rocking an old iPhone SE from years back haha! Thanks for using my code ☺️
No they don't. Thats for the black card.
@@OutOfNameIdeas2 This was the case 8 months ago. Thanks for the heads up they've now changed the blue card for free. I've just requested the physical blue card on the app.
