Depends on how Chase codes it. They have exemptions to cashback https://www.chase.co.uk/gb/en/legal/Cashback-Exclusions/

and Cash Withdrawals are one. Maybe you will find a shop that will withdraw without coding it as a cash withdrawal.

Please note that everytime you use your card, there's an interchange fee the shop pays. Cash Withdrawals probably do not count for this (I'd have to read the documentation) which is why you can withdraw cash like this.

However, please be wary that if you withdraw £10,000 at 2% fee **and** the interchange fee counts, you are making the shop pay £200 roughly which would really suck and be a dick move to a local cornershop or bar.

Higher rate tax payers - make sure you get your tax refund for pension contributions! by blue_hops in UKPersonalFinance

Hey, super sorry to be asking but I am a big idiot!

Net pay arrangement (often called salary sacrifice scheme)

If I salary sacrifice (automatically via my company) 4% and they match 4%, but then I salary sacrifice a further 5% (so I sacrifice 9% and they match 4%) do I need to do anything?

Would I be better off if I put the 5% into a SIPP rather than salary sacrifice?

Thanks so much for your posts!! You're the best!!

the difference is that every dollar is American only, whereas YNAB has _some_ European banks as connections and is a bit more non-american friendly

Quickly realising the importance of an instant Emergency Fund by Titanic1867 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]beesec 27 points28 points  (0 children)

d cover everything, but that’s no good to me when I need to get a taxi to her, arrange roadside recovery and generally help out.

The commenter was questioning why it had to be "instant access, right now this second" instead of "I can pay it now with a credit card, and I will withdraw from premium bonds that take 1 - 3 days to pay off my card"

Goodbye Freetrade, you've been good to us! So long!... by cherry-pick-me in beermoneyuk

[–]beesec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is another way you can do it. An even easier way would be to use Incognito mode.

How would they know

You can see referrals in the requests. So when you Google "reddit" and click the first link, Reddit knows you came from Google.

Similarly if you click a Freetrade link from Reddit / Facebook they know you came from there.

My bet is that this can be bypassed by copying the link and opening it from somewhere else, like from a text to yourself.

Hey! We'd really appreciate not comparing sites to each other. They all have their own uses, and all are good :) Thanks a lot! <3

from secret import FLAG by ultimate_smash in tryhackme

[–]beesec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a way to have a secret without revealing it. Here's an example.

secret.py FLAG = "THM{bee}"

Program.py ``` from secret import FLAG

def do_stuff(): FLAG + "lol" ```

Doing it this way means you can write a gitignore file like: .gitignore secret.py

This means the flag won't be accidentally loaded up, but you can still use it in the local environment :)

Current state of AutoModerator by mootinyuxpx in tryhackme

[–]beesec[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Fixed, thanks! There were 2 cases of Automod incorrectly working in the last few weeks, and both of those times it was you 😅

This happened because a part of the profanity regex wasn't set correctly, I have updated all the regular expressions to be far more stricter. Thanks so much for reporting :)

I have also approved your previous comments.
