MSE News: TSB current account customer? You can now earn even more cashback

piratematt

Buy 5 x £20 of your favourite gift card from morissons and pay contactless
Pay £95 effective.
I buy a combination of £10 Costa, Amazon, restaurants, next (to pay off next bill in full) b&q. Whatever suits that month

Which also gives 10p off a litre of diesel/petrol vouchers thanks to morissons.

I've got a three fuel cans in my boot.
Use my Amex card (don't have Santander yet) fill up 65 litres in one transaction.
That's £6.50 off my fuel bill instantly.
Plus a further £0.77 pence cash back on Amex.

Will put me £12.77 a month better off

Or £147.24 even before any interest on the cards £2,000

What I need now is more fuel cans in my boot.
And to convince my wife that she should also manage multiple bank accounts and get a TSB one and a joint one.

Of course I never quite managed to get exactly 5 litres of diesel in a 5 litre Jerry can. I always chicken out at 4.5 litres per can. Last thing I want is diesel on my feet.
But I get close enough to 65 litres if I've a wad of vouchers with me
Morissons will let you fill up to 100 litres per transaction if you've got the storage (and patience)

I've just remembered that my local pub does cashback which goes through as a purchase. Sorted!

Have you got more information about the HSBC et al 5% regular saver please?

Earn 5% AER* interest on your savings, available exclusively to our TSB current account customers. This is fixed for 12 months and paid at the end of the year. Any money left in your account after then will be transferred to an Easy Saver account.

You can save between £25 and £250 by standing order each month, but can't replace money you take out. It's easy to apply, so why not start earning 5% AER interest on your savings today?

this is the new Tsb, e-mail I had on yesterdays e-mail;
Hsbc is the same, except it's 6%, I have them.£2k in both so far, same rules
M&S do same as Hsbc,6%, it is theirs really.
got 2 tsb classic + a/cs,OH has 2 so going to take out their R/s .
Presume the Rs can be funded via them???
Don't know if we can have 1 per A/c??:beer:

I don't care much for the contactless , never use them.Too many on the go now.

I've got a more radical idea
Why not simply not buy the rubbish in the first place then that will save you 100% rather than just 5%?

where are you going to put your saved 100%.? Presume you are meaning the cards?
It seems an awful lot of hassle to me, with all the other CC cashback cards etc, I'm not a lover of contactless cards, stick to pin.

Seems you've answered your own question - the TSB account is not the same as the HSBC/M&S regular savers - for one thing, it pays a different rate.

You can buy rubbish with these cards? I was going to use them to save 5% on food.

I know, I haven't asked a question.I answered one.
I already have the others at 6%.Hsbc and M&S.T&C's are the same.
I stated the rate difference between them.
I Just wondered if others knew of the new TSB one at 5%, as no one had mentioned it on here.If that's a question?
It was only info, not a question, for Colsten.
Did you know about it.?

I know about it. It has been mentioned in a couple of other threads and I'm sure it is listed in the best regular savings account thread. It is not as tempting at the HSBC, M&S and also First Direct regular savers, which are all 6% and between them cover a lot of monthly savings, though if you don't want to open the required current accounts for the others, then it is a useful account to have.
