Hi all,
My PN contract is coming to an end and they're promoting their new
deals with the above-mentioned card. There are very few details what
the reward card is other than this in the small print:
"The Plusnet Reward Card is issued by Blackhawk Network (UK) Ltd, an
Electronic Money Institution authorised in the UK by the Financial
Conduct Authority with Firm Reference Number 900023; pursuant to
license from Mastercard International."
This makes me think it's just a Mastercard cash card, but has anyone
actually got one of these and know if there are any limitations on what
it can be used for?

they used to offer cashback in the form of a cheque
now perhaps they send you this pre-funded card?

You can spend the money online and in most high street stores that display
the MastercardŽ symbol. However, there are some limitations. The card can't
be used for:
.Cash withdrawal at a cash machine
.Cash back at a till
.Any Customer Activated Terminals (such as but not limited to pay@pump, toll
roads, car parks or train ticket terminals)
.Subscriptions or automated periodic payments
.Foreign exchange bureaus
.Gambling

I renewed my contract as with the cashback it's the cheapest option on the
market.

50 quid on it, so I filled up with petrol to the value of 50 quid, paid
using the card, and chucked it away.

I got a £75 one with my last Plusnet contract. It works just like a

normal Mastercard except that it won't do contactless. The likes of
Tesco can split the bill over more than one card AFAIR
