    If that's an after tax figure it equates to 26 days at 3% AER...and a lot less if you're on 4% AER.

    How many days were in October's billing period?

    Or, more accurately, when - if in October - did you deposit the £6K?

    Assuming 31 days (were there?), you should have had:

    £12.07 @ 3% AER, or

    £16.02 @ 4% AER

    I assume you'll be contacting them?


    Sorry, please ignore this. As per post #1017 below it appears they haven't applied the 4% marker to your account so you've only earned 3% AER on £5K.

    Only £10 at 3%, because the ceiling is at £5K.

    That looks just about right at 4%.

    So with the requirement to deposit £1000 per month into each account.

    My wife and I have 5 accounts between us with £6k in each

    So reading the T&C's and this thread all I have to do to comply with the T&C's

    Is at one session sitting at my PC, transfer £1k from account 1 ->2 then repeat 2->3 until 5-> 1 ??

    Do any of you do this or do you leave 1 day between transfers?
