Just been to cash point at little Tesco's as the gardener has turned up a day early and I'd no money. The cash point was not working so I went into store and bought things I didn't really need so's I could get some cashback...........came to pay and the little rat then told me they'd stopped doing cashback.
Got in car and drove another 2 miles to next cash point............grrrrrrrrrr
I might be totally wrong here, but i will try to find out more. I know at the end of this month they are stopping the cheque guarantee scheme. Isn't cash back something similar but you just bypass the cheque up to £50? Maybe thats why it isn't getting offered.
A lot of the little Tescos round here say they don't do cashback as they have a cash machine outside.
I thought it was something to do with extra fraud protection - when some scroat stole my card they made a number of small purchases with larger cashback requests before my bank noticed and stopped it. I guess if that was the case then it would more widespread though.
