    Just noticed that Curve now works with PayPal so it'll be interesting to see if you can set an Amex card to be the payment card.

    Do you use CapitalOnTap's FreeAgent integration? If so is it OK?

    Currently trying to decide whether to go CapitalOnTap or Amex for a business card. Although I'd prefer to collect Amex points (as they're portable) will probably go CapitalOnTap for the FreeAgent feed, and the lower foreign currency charges.
    Sorry, I missed your reply.

    I don't use FreeAgent, I'm a Xero user. The integration has worked fine for both CoT and Amex.

I tend to move the points to BA Avios rather than take it as cash but that's my personal preference.

    Regarding reward schemes, what sort of rewards are you after? Cashback? Airline / hotel points?
    Thanks.

    "Cashback" or "Air Miles" possibly? (Would have opted AMEX Gold for the 30,000+ points but cannot pay HMRC via such).

    Only toying with replacing cards as the bank with "the black horse(s)" are absolutely dire wrt customer service in the credit/charge card section.

    Anyone have good recommendations for 2022? Naturally, would prefer to be able to qualify for some type of reward scheme whilst ability to use to pay HMRC with no fee(s). (Matters little over Credit or Charge type card).

    Signed up to a business Paypal account, with that you can get issued a MasterCard debit card, link my corporate AMEX and pay HMRC with the Paypal card.

    Will let you know if it works

    Bringing the e-money facility inhouse, I believe. They emailed about it in April as part of their planned roadmap.

    The FT has a quote from curve saying that their payments system should be available again from this morning with money safely held by 3rd party. I no longer have a Curve card to confirm.

    Will have to wait for the debit card to be sent before I can try it out
