    It's now there.

    Usual 2 Mon monthly job to transfer it out and swap £500 between accounts to meet criteria using tsb app while waiting for train. Really is very easy to get good interest.

    I don't use the train very often, can I still swap £500 every month?

    I don't use the train very often and don't even have the TSB app installed :eek: Can I still swap £500 every month?

    It is supposed to be gross if you asked the bank to pay it gross, which you can do if you don't have to pay tax on savings interest.

    It'll be paid net unless you inform them that your income is below the national tax threshold. If you're earning over £10,000 a year, you shouldn't be receiving gross interest.
    Credit 'Score' - Don't buy the credit 'score' that Experian, Equifax and Noddle want to sell you. It's an arbitrary number that means nothing when it comes to applying for credit.

    ALWAYS HAVE A DIRECT DEBIT SET UP FOR THE MINIMUM PAYMENT ON YOUR CREDIT CARDS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU PLAN TO LOGIN AND PAY EACH MONTH.

    Oh blast, I don't have the app either. We are probably doomed. But we could ask again next month.

    Thanks guys, I'll get right on it.

    20 minutes later, sorted! Form filled in over the phone and off to the taxman. Now to wait for him to come and bend me over :(

    I don't have the app and neither do I transfer while on a train. That'll teach me for skimming the t&cs :)

    How much did you set the standing order up for? The amount varies slightly each month. It's £7.08 this time.


    I've set my SOs for 6.65 but you are right it does vary due to days in the month and delayed payment due to weekends/bank holidays. Talking pennies but even so I still top up. I like nice round whole numbers.

    Only if you install the app when you're on the train...
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
