Stashback Card questions

What is Stashback Card for?

A tiny reward for a tidy ledger, not a reason to carry debt. Cashback and credit interest are shown separately. The demo assumes ordinary purchases only, with no cash withdrawals or balance transfers. Its story purpose is earning a small reward on eligible spending paid off in full. Everything on this site is fictional; nothing can be applied for.

What is the APR on Stashback Card?

24.9% illustrative APR (variable) once interest applies. Repaying £1,200 over twelve months at that rate is shown month by month on the product page.

How does cashback work on Stashback Card?

0.5% on eligible purchases, capped at £10 a month. It assumes the statement is cleared in full; carrying a balance costs more than the reward.

What credit limit does Stashback Card assume?

£500.00 to £5,000.00, as an illustration. No real assessment takes place.

Does Stashback Card have a fee?

No annual fee in the model. Interest is the real cost if the statement is not cleared.

Credit cards questions

Shared across the whole range.

Which card should I choose in the story?

Stashback or Bushy Tail Rewards for spending that is repaid in full, Zero Nut Zone to spread a purchase, Twig Transfer to park an existing balance, and Acorn Builder to show a short, tidy history. Every card’s page shows the borrowing cost beside the perk.

What ends a 0% offer?

A missed or late payment, in the model. From then on the standard APR applies to the whole balance.

Is cashback capped?

Yes: £10 a month on Stashback Card and £25 a month on Bushy Tail Rewards Card, which also charges a £24 annual fee. Cash withdrawals, transfers, fees and interest never earn cashback.

What does the APR mean?

The illustrative annual cost of borrowing once interest applies. The card examples convert it to an equivalent monthly rate and repay £1,200 over twelve months to show the interest.

What credit limit would I get?

The pages state an illustrative range per card, from £250 on Acorn Builder to £10,000 on Twig Transfer. No real assessment happens; the limits are story furniture.

Frequently asked squeaks

The questions and answers on this page come from AcornBank’s single shared FAQ collection, so the same wording appears here, on the Credit cards hub and in the full FAQ list. Every answer is about a fictional product: 0.50% cashback; 24.9% illustrative APR (variable) is a demo figure and nothing can be applied for. The summary and worked figures below give the numbers the answers refer to.

What the example does not promise

All figures are invented and shown to make the demo useful to read and crawl. No money is held, no application is available, and no deposit-protection, regulatory or tax-wrapper status is claimed. Calculations do not account for personal tax, inflation or unstated changes in rates. The fictional bank manager can guarantee only that the next paragraph contains no real acorns.
