    I got an email from London capital credit union saying that as i havent actively used my account for more than 12 months it has now become dormant, and reminding me about the prize draw.  Does anyone know if it will still be in the saver prize draw if dormant or do i need to reactivate it first?  Is it as simple as paying in some more cash to reactivate it?  i have just left it sitting with £200 in it since it opened.
    They should warn you ahead of making it dormant. You should just be able to pay in a quid and withdraw it again, if it's about to become dormant, but you may need to reactivate it if it already is. Can you still see the account online?
    Yes I can still see it online on the app

    Then a quick transaction will probably sort it.

    Thanks Masonic - I have moved a fiver in and  it says it can take up to 24 hours to be credited - if not will give them a call.

    All good now - the £5 has hit the account so i guess should be good for another 12 months - will put in a reminder to do it again in about 11 months time (assuming prize saver is still going).
    Haven't been lucky enough to win anything yet - but you never know....
