I also have the Hilton BC and the same is true with regards to HMRC , again I have not used either for NSI.

Edited to add. Virgin Atlantic cards DO attract 5% fees apparently

That all sounds a little discouraging, esp given that the limit for fronted transactions is a relatively modest £10k per month. I can see a large red flag if people are recycling cash by paying off their Barclaycard with a Curve card linked to the same card (or any other obviously circular transactions). Otherwise why would Barclaycard care?
