    Mod note: not necessarily the best advice to give.

    Its almost two years ago; if the cash withdrawals make sense for someone doing mattress savings like that its unlikely to have any impact. In general the very occasional use of the card for gambling doesn't matter either, particularly around the few times of the year when people who don't generally gamble may have a go - Cheltenham being one that matches up with March

    If it does; it won't be on two years of statements in April which isn't very far away.
