Seriously awful coffee even at 50% off. If you're spending £15 in Starbucks, you need to have words with yourself.

Annoyed with the attitude of Nationwide Simply Rewards.
They are now saying....
"Having looked into this offer your transactions did not meet the qualifying criteria for cashback because the offer was not activated in your Simply Rewards portal."
As far I as remembered it was not an offer you activated (like some of the others), it was showing as "simply present your card for payment"..
Can anyone please confirm so I can go at them again...
Didn't get a reply following that, but yesterday received an automated email notifying me of cashback being paid and £7.50 went into my account today. Got there in the end. :man:

Just had a response from the support team on the query I raised via email on 19/12/15. Essentially:
"I have raised your query with our technical teams for investigation and will provide you with an update shortly."
Chanchi32 to morgie

Put a complaint in on how long it's taking to resolve - use the words 'I want to express my dissatisfaction and formally complain' which should trigger that it's a complaint. If it's not resolved within 48 hours it should become a FCA reportable complaint which Nationwide will need to log and report, generally the financial companies want to avoid this so will usually try to resolve and give you a gesture of good will e.g. £10
Suspect the issue is that the rewards platform is managed by an outsourced team in Visa but Nationwide are ultimately accountable.

Same for me too. Bought 2 £15 Starbucks cards one after the other - one on CC I got the £7.50 cashback. The one on my debit card doesn't show up in my redemption history. Emailed them 4 days ago and not heard anything back so have emailed again today.
Transaction does say "Starbucks" followed by the location.

A deal doesn't have to be available to all to be hot. Otherwise we might as well not allow deals involving Amazon Prime, Costco, the list goes on.

But they are paying their fair share... If you could legally pay less taxes, wouldn't you?
Duke of Westminster v Commissioners of Inland Revenue 19 TC 490:
‘Every man is entitled if he can to order his affairs so that the tax attaching under the appropriate Acts is less than it otherwise would be. If he succeeds in ordering them so as to secure this result, then, however unappreciative the Commissioners of Inland Revenue or his fellow tax-payers may be of his ingenuity, he cannot be compelled to pay an increased tax.’
While I do understand this sentiment, shouldn't we be blaming the politicians who are refusing to fix the tax code that actually allows companies to legally do this?

Hmm, mine was debit too but not contactless. Does the merchant name mention 'Starbucks' in your online transactions for your account? Mine doesn't (just an address and some reference to coffee I think) - but it's a store that's listed for the offer.

morgie
18 Dec 15#67
How long did this one take to show up in 'Redemption History' for people compared to Amazon? The latter was quite quick for me, 3 days. I spent in Starbucks on Sunday, nothing showing yet - think the guidance was 5 days, so I'll see after today.

Mine just been verified by Nationwide and cashback being put back into my account. I didn't need to activate, just used applepay linked to my Nationwide card.
I see that the offer is available again today. Is this new? Can I purchase again?
The offer I did yesterday expired yesterday.
Chanchi32 to W1zz
18 Dec 15#61
I don't think so if you have already redeemed but assume the offer is not showing in your account now?
bemad
18 Dec 15#58
You don't need to activate this one. If it is in your offers then your registered card is already linked to the offer and you just need to make the purchase in a starbucks store using that card.
The free bakery item was a Starbucks emailed offer for certain existing Starbucks rewards holders (it's just a coincidence they use the term REWARDS for their scheme).

Hey everyone,
I can see the offer in my rewards, but can't 'activate' it to redeem. I wanna buy the gift card in store tomorrow. Ps how did u get free bakery item?
didn't get the free drink, I did ask, but she said they don't do it. wasn't fussed as I was just about to go to dinner any way.

ohhh now I get it, but that's a faff registering it. anyway transferred balance on app and it says I have another reward, but it was dated from my last purchase and I didn't even know. so it's a good job I did this deal.

I have registered one of my NW cards ,but can`t remember if it was my debit or credit card. I emailed NW 3 days ago and they said they would respond within 24 hours. Today I called them again and they couldn`t help me either. I wish it could be more like the Amex offers. When I log in to Amex I can see the last 4 digits of the registered card.
morgie to hemp
17 Dec 151#53
Maybe attempt to re-register one of the cards? If it rejects, safe to assume already registered I'd hope (maybe even a useful error message....wishful thinking?), if it registers, then you know you're good to go with that one at least and probably the other?

13 Dec 154#48
Just did this, thank you Chanch. Not sure if already posted, but...
The offer for the free drink when buying a giftcard (not sure if there's a minimum spend but £15 definitely works) is based on the card being activated. The staff in my branch weren't sure and had to check for offer codes - if you need to let them know it's code 222. I don't think my card has actually been activated though, they just had to enter the code in the till to take the cost of the drink off the bill so I only paid the £15 for the giftcard. Oh and they had a festive giftcard too, mention if you're giving it as a gift to get a card envelope for it too. Not my pic, but looks like....

ooooh glad it works. I genuinely need to top up my card anyway as I have about £4 left.

MacGyverUS to garethsmith72
12 Dec 152#46
Don't just top up your existing card. Buy a new gift card and top up with £15. You can get a tall drink for free. Then add the new gift card to your existing Starbucks card.
So a free tall drink and new £15 gift card for only £7.50.

Topcashback is mastercard only.

So one purchase with nationwide card, can buy anything, cant use credit to pay

Some wit has realised that if you obliterate all the letters except for 'Buck' and the 'OFF' in Coffee you don't need to do much more to produce a rude direction which I won't post here.

To redeem this offer, you will need to make a purchase at Starbucks, including taxes and after any discounts. Max reward up to £7.50. Offer valid in-store for one purchase. Offer valid at participating Starbucks locations only. Stores that are not able to accept Starbucks Card will also not be able to offer this discount. You can use the Starbucks store locator to see which stores accept Starbucks Card: http://www.starbucks.co.uk/store-locator
That to me reads "make a purchase instore" but then says Starbucks card twice. I'd imagine gift cards are OK by the sounds of it.
