Keeping Personal Details Out of the Demo
Use the invented names and amounts already in the examples. Do not place real passwords, account details, addresses or identity documents into a demo.
In the cards and stashback story
Characters want to read pretend card rewards, using a cardboard card with a shiny walnut stamp. The comic complication is confusing a reward stamp with an edible walnut. Keep that scene separate from your own information: the character’s details describe the tale, not the visitor.
Check the context
- Read the page heading to identify the subject.
- Check whether an amount is a starting pile, a movement or an ending total.
- Follow the collection link for neighbouring questions.
If the wording still seems nutty, remember that Pip Nibbles is a made-up character with a leaf clipboard. There is no customer-service case to open, no real transaction to trace and no hidden balance waiting behind the bark.
Put cards and stashback into a bank-style example
The related product is Stashback Card, used for earning a small reward on eligible spending paid off in full. Its current fictional demo rate card is 0.50% cashback; 24.9% illustrative APR (variable). This separate example uses pounds, not the acorn tokens in the story above. There is no conversion between them.
| Opening debt | Repayment period | Total paid | Interest cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| £1,200.00 | 12 months | £1,350.82 | £150.82 |
This debt scenario assumes no additional spending, no fees, offers or cashback, and the equivalent monthly rate derived from the standard APR. It uses a chosen repayment plan, not minimum repayments. Paying interest and earning a perk are separate calculations.
A check for this page
When working through keeping personal details out of the demo, identify the amount, the time it stays in the account, and whether the result is interest, growth, a reward or a cost. The access rule is: 0.5% cashback on eligible purchases, capped at £10 per month; borrowing can cost more than the reward. If the scene changes any of those assumptions, start with the Stashback Card worked examples and recalculate rather than reusing the closing figure. A very confident squirrel is still not a calculator.
