Hello Suzanne,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We are very sorry but currently, we don't support the ability to add bYond cards to any digital wallets.
Cashback on your card is designed to be paid 30 days after the transaction, so if you received a refund (based on majority retailers 30 day refund policy) we wouldn’t add money and then remove it from your vault.

I like the fact that you can update the amount on the card and the cashback is applied automatically. Dislike the fact that its so difficult to have a quick check of the amount on the card in the app.

Even after asking repeatedly and giving them the insane detail that they need to process the cancelation request, they were slow and difficult at every step.

Poor customer experience
I had a transaction cancelled by the retailer for online shopping, but the pending payment took nearly 3 weeks to clear and put the funds back as available. I tried to contact twice through the contact area, but did not receive a reply on either occasion.
With is a shame because the loyalty side of it looks good.

This is the second time I am writing a review and nothing has changed from the first time round. After chasing for months to have the card closed down due to poor service, declined in different retailers yet having money withdrawn from the card, and having to pay for the purchase again, they came back and said I had to pay £20 fee to have the card closed down due.
I just had it declined at Waitrose and all I am trying to do is spend the money and never use it again. As for the reward, I shopped at Asda over a week ago, and no reward has been transferred over.
I honestly haven’t experienced such a bad customer experience.

Worst customer service ever
Not being informed the card was expired. Have to call BYond and find out need be invited again. Have to pay for order a new card. Over 3 weeks after ordered the new card still not receive the card. Called customer service and been told need to ask local post office. What a joke. I haven’t received any post confirmation how to check with post office? Order a new card, received with in a week but can’t activate it. Until now, I still haven’t got the card which can be activated……

There are a lot of barriers to using the card
There are a lot of barriers to using the card! I have to top it up all the time and the app doesn't remember the security code. Also not being useable with apple pay means that half the time I don't have the card with me. Add to that that I have to pre-load it means I don't use it half as often as I could
