Not that I'm nit-picking , but it's been paying out free fivers for 28 months (1st in March '09)

I have had my three accounts since they started (like YB I used to have 6 but they closed the 3 Bank of Scotland down).

I also have 2 of the Reward Credit Cards which I use for Day to Day spending making sure I spend £300 on each per month.

So I'm currently on £25 per month:)

I am completely baffled as to how I worked that out as 26.

I ran a perfectly normal mental check on the numbers before I posted too .... normally my strong point!

Too much sport and cider yesterday.

The account has been available for 26 months. So it's £130 per account. I was lucky enough to get 4 up front (3 normal and 1 URCA that I redesignated) = £520. Gross up for tax and it's £650.

I really should get the credit card too - for an additional £5 a month with no tax liability.

Now I understand, I'm slow but catching up...

Which credit card offers the £5 ?

Even you got it on June 2nd, I fully believe it was dated on June 1st.
This is I think to anticipate the people who make their £1000 on June 1. so it will count toward reward for the following month.

Yes, you can have two...but only one sole account - the 2nd has to be a joint account.

Hmmm sorry to hijack this post however call me thick but I don't understand... My OH has this £5 a month thing but he pay's £12.50 I think for the account so really we're at a loss of £7.50pm am I right in thinking this?

Sounds like your OH has the Ultimate Reward - a packaged account which costs £12.50. If the benefits are not needed, or can be bought cheaper on their own the account can be changed to a normal reward account which has no fees if you are in credit.
