  Can confirm Curve is working again

• DT says:

  Can’t wait for everyone to confirm using Curve for MS works again, while ironically using a plethora of code words to keep it on the down low

    My goose laid the egg first time but second attempt was crispy duck sadly. 😢

      Ffs now switching cards doesn’t work – it’s trying to charge my IHG no matter which underlying card I have selected in the app!

  Thanks JH, just had 2 curve transactions work topping up nsi backed with hsbc and ihg.

    I think we can guess the main topic of conversation on here tomorrow…..ernie and bendy are working in harmony again. Great, I can’t wait 🙄

      I’m sure it’s in everyone’s interest to not have topic mentioned again?

      • Anna says:

        Absolutely. Update and move on!

      I have a the latest high-tech bit of kit for this. It’s a mouse with a little wheel on top that’s great for scrolling – I can go straight past comments that aren’t relevant to me personally without getting annoyed. You should really try one. So happy they brought this out. Isn’t 1996 brilliant!!

      • Chrisasaurus says:

        10 Mar10 March 21:01

        I mean, I am actually fully in agreement with you but – there’s a certain irony in stopping to reply to that and not having scrolled by!

      • Harrier25 says:

        10 Mar10 March 21:29

        God, you still using a mouse?!! Old hat, mate!

      Where else can we do hsbc and even hilton one for friend?

• DAJ says:

  Well how frustrating!! I’ve just tried to book my first flight in many months and feeling somewhat uplifted thinking that this is the first step to getting back to some normality, I have been brutally let down by the computer saying no!

  I have tried twice to book flights applying a FTV and the system gets to the last booking page and on clicking the make reservation button states unable to process booking.

  Very frustrating but wanted to know if this is a common issue when applying vouchers (correctly applied balances etc.) or is it just my bad luck?!!

  • BlueHorizonUK says:

    10 Mar10 March 21:39

    If it’s a FTV then can only be done over the phone.

    If they sent you a eVoucher than it can be used online.

    • DAJ says:

      10 Mar10 March 21:54

      Apologies. It is an e-voucher x 2.

  Data point. Opened virgin money account two weeks ago, transfered £1000 and two direct debit, and switched from Starling last Friday. Received the 15000 virgin miles voucher from virgin red today. All was pretty smooth.

  • Benilyn says:

    10 Mar10 March 22:23

    Did you open on the website or app

    • Track says:

      11 Mar11 March 08:41

      The thing is, when you start in Virgin Red app, it actually opens a browser page (on mobile).

    Does anyone know if you will be entitled to the signup bonus if you had some regular savings accounts ( not current account) with them last year? Cant find it anywhere on the terms

• Secret Squirrel says:

  Just deleted & uploaded the curve app to see if that sorts out the issues but the magic link to email or sms code never comes through?

  • Rob says:

    10 Mar10 March 21:43

    The SMS has nothing to do with the app, it is just sent to your code like a normal SMS.

    • Secret Squirrel says:

      10 Mar10 March 21:50

      This is the code needed to verify your account when you upload the app?
      It isn’t coming through & not to the registered email address?

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        10 Mar10 March 21:51

        If I also request the magic link to my email address?

        • Fm says:

          10 Mar10 March 22:09

          This has been happening to me for ages, no SMS despite multiple attempts. Curve customer services offered to call, but never did so at the time I asked them to (usually whilst I was at work), eventually I just gave up

• david says:

  Don’t know if this has ever been talked about before but with Natwest rewards £100 buys you 11740 Avios – certainly cheaper than buying them.

  • Andrew says:

    10 Mar10 March 21:35

    But not a good ROI. Better to spend the cash on a flight.

    • stevenhp1987 says:

      10 Mar10 March 23:01

      That really depends on your flight.

      At 0.85p per Avios most people would be happy and able to get more value than that.

  • Cabal of rabid baboons says:

    10 Mar10 March 22:21

    Great spot David, thank you , I’ll have some of that

    • The Savage Squirrel says:

      10 Mar10 March 23:48

      Nice to have the option although not a buyer personally. It’s allegedly temporary although it’s been round for ages.

• Ilou says:

  I have been away from the MS game for some time.. is it still possible to use curve with Bristol ?
