Just a note for those of you using the Ulster Bank Visa and the €40 cashback after you put €5000 purchases (note cash advances don't count)
For the 2nd year running this does not seem automatically to have been credited to my account. I had to ring them up last december to get it credited for 2003... This year I would have already easily exceeded the €5k spend on the card and no sign of it automatically crediting.
It's a good offer alright but make sure you get it credited... I don't know what other's experiences are in this regard.
True Zag .. I did previously have an Amex blue .. but acceptance of them can be a good bit more limited ... you find you need to have Visa/MC as well .. so unless you'd be spending 4k plus on the Amex as well as 5k on the UB visa then it's not really worth it I suppose.
I got the EUR 40 credited to my Ulster bank visa without requesting however now that Ulster bank have changed his policy regarding bank charges I am considering to go somewhere else - see my posting about bank charges
I had to ask for my refund and didnt even get an apology
seems like a bit of a con
what are the chances that everybody checks to see if they get it back?
I didnt bother to complain I just closed the account
any other experiences like this out there
