Good but more retailers need to be available
Very good overall if you are shopping at retailers listed with Byond however, my niggle is with my partner card. Why can't a partner account have access to top-up the card ? More retailers also need to be added to make this a great service and with the above are the reason I do not give 5 stars.

I like the card
I like the card. I've used it a few times when getting my usual food shops and have already got some cashback already in the vault but I need to wait a few weeks until I can take it out. I would like if more retailers were available. Also it would be handy if could be added so can pay using phone.

Good offering
I like the card, however I’ve was unable to use in Holland and Barrett as kept declining even though there was more than enough on the card and PIN accepted. My main gripe is the inability to add to a payment wallet which in this day and age most companies offer.

Hello Diane,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and very sorry to hear you had a small issue using your card in Holland and Barrett.
Every store does have a unique number referred to as the Merchant ID. Unfortunately, if we do not have this number provided to us by the retailer, our bYond card will not work as the retailer will come up on the system as unrecognised.
We will always do our best to make sure our systems are up to date, however it is the responsibility of the retailer to let us know their ID numbers.
If we do locate a retailer/store who we partner with where we are missing ID numbers, we do then speak directly with our partner to add these to our records. Very sorry for the inconvenience.

Been using this for years. Top up every month, use the card when I'm shopping at the retailers they cover, and get a little back regularly. I save a few hundred quid a year for no effort.

Probably the best cashback card in terms of reward.
Only snag is that you need the physical card every time you shop because they don't offer the 'Add to Wallet' option and I (and most people I know) rarely carry around cards these days, so it gets massively underused.

The app sometimes didn’t work(won’t log me in). Seems I have to log in to your website first, before I can use the app. Also I don’t seem to be able to add the card to my apple wallet.
---------------------
Thank you for your reply. The reason I gave it a 3 star is that sometimes I could not use the card in supported stores (declined). At the time (away from home), I tried to open the app on my phone to check my balance. However, it always denied my logging in. I found out that when I got home and logged into your website on my computer, I than could log into my app. Once I could log into my app, I could use my card in stores.
So these days, if I intend to use the card, I will always make sure I can log into the app first at home (sometimes I will need to log into the website first), before go to shopping. Not an easy experience, and prevented me from using the card often.

Hello Ryan,

bYond has made a commercial decision to create a minimum top up amount of £25, however we do appreciate that customers like to have some flex. Unfortunately , we are unable to change the set limit.

Excellent range of retailers.
Good cashback rates. Simple to use App.
Would be great if could add the card to Apple Wallet to avoid having to carry it around.
Otherwise, very good.

It’s really annoying that the card can’t be added to my digital wallet. I recently lost my card due to my purse being stolen and had to pay £7 for a new card which I thought was expensive. If the card was able to be used on Apple Pay i wouldn’t have needed to carry the card!

I am very happy with Byond
I am very happy with Byond. The app is easy to use, the offers are clear and the cashback system works well. The customer service has also been helpful whenever I have needed support. One neutral point is that cashback processing can take a little while, although you can track everything from the app without any issues. Overall, it is a very good experience and I am satisfied with the service they provide.

I have to check which retailer is available, so I stand at the counter using the app. money cannot be transferred back to my normal bank account easily. Top Cash Back is much more straight forward, for the 1 or 2 percent difference, I'd rather use top cash back.

Card acceptance is temperamental - the app is riddled with bugs and crashes all the time - some retailers accept online then with no notice you no longer can (currys for example)
