Revolut £20 cashback tracking issue...just me??
I opened a new Revolut account last month - did everything correctly (yes, I clicked on the MSE link and entered my phone number before downloading the Revolut App). Still no £25. Apparently (Revolut chatbot) I've fulfilled all criteria but the campaign hasn't tracked from the MSE link. Anyone any idea what to do as…

just seen that you have mentioned a Halifax regular saver account which pay 8% interest.
How will it work as I believe that Lloyds are taking over the Halifax accounts. Will this be for savings accounts as well as current accounts?

What to do with my money?
Hi all. Prob an age old question but . . . I recently moved house and into something more than adequate for my needs, where me and the wife will be happy to see our lives out - both mid 70's. This has left me with a few 100Ks to invest wherever I can (horrible task) but that is not the concern. Due to a mental breakdown…

Gilts held offshore and CGT
A good friend of mine with a French brokerage account (but resident and tax-resident in the UK only) wants to buy gilts and keep them in her offshore account. The idea is to buy low interest gilts and to hold them to maturity. So I've asked an AI whether gilts held offshore enjoy the same CGT exemption as gilts held here…

Hydrogen Capital Growth
They have been delisted, but my last message from HL states "The details of the return of capital have not yet been confirmed by the company." Shareholders who own private shares and wish to trade can do so via a Matched Bargain Facility, which is what Google came up with. I have no idea how much I own; my original…

What would you do?
Would you move money from a flexible ISA into a taxable account or take pension drawdown to fill a void in your tax free allowance. My partner and I are both non tax payers and retired. I draw a private pension but am not yet of state pension age. My partner doesn't draw their pension and is also not of state pension age.…

NS&I Index Linked Savings Certificates Maturing - Options
Mine are maturing shortly and I don't think I'll be renewing. I've just looked on the NS&I website at maturity options and it seems the only way to not renew is to "cash in" which is literally cash to your bank. Is there really no option to transfer directly to an NS&I Direct Saver or Premium Bonds? I find it hard to…

CSH2: taxation and performance
I have feeling this could open issues such as excess reportable income which I don't (yet) understand, but are CSH2 gains taxed as interest or capital gain?

The most unnecessary laborious existing customer Coop Regular Saver application possible
I’ve been with Coop for years. Yet after my Regular Saver matured I applied for a new one while logged in and they made me fill in all details as if I was a newbie. Even then it’s not enough. They have to review the application before granting the opening of the account. They need to up their it game. Had a false start…

Moving some of the more volatile stuff
A good while ago we had a GIA portfolio (actually two, but they can be treated as one) with a roughly 50/50 mix of gilts and stocks/ETFs (mostly some good dividend titles and the usual Vanguard VLS40…80). Nowadays it's more like 40/60 (gilts/stocks) because the stocks/ETFs have had significant gains. Additionally, we're a…

Capital Gains Tax on Shares outside an ISA - Purchase price unknown
With saved cash and voluntary redundancy money, I bought two or three certificates in an investment trust years ago, probably for £10,000 each or suchlike transferred them into x-o.co.uk but never kept a record of what I paid for them, as I thought the whole point of investing was to tuck them away and forget about it..…

35 year investment for early retirement?
Any flaws with this idea? I'm wanting to help give my 19yr son the option of retiring earlier than the private pension age (currently 57 for him) or state pension age, by investing some money for him in his name - we'll do it together. I'll soon be retiring myself at age 55 and I'd like him to have the same option. Topping…

NS&I website login problems with telephone code
Anyone else had this problem? Entering an on-screen six digit code via telephone is the second part of the two-factor authentication process to log into NS&I accounts. It's the part that usually goes wrong and prevents me from logging in. This issue has plagued me for months and has never worked consistently. There's no…

Transferring Stocks & Shares from 1 broker to another
In 2023 I transferred a stocks and shares ISA from II to Iweb. Today I logged into the II platform to look for some historical information from the account. I was surprised to see that I had just over a £100 in it. Surprise turned to anger when looking through the history to see that shortly after the transfer a dividend…

Scottish Friendly Help

In short, we have something with them (I assume life insurance, but we don’t know what) so, over 20 years ago we had a mortgage and obviously life insurance that came with it. Over the mists of time Santander (our mortgage lender) moved this to Scottish Friendly (we think) however…
