    Other than the fact it's an e-money account with no FSCS protection.

    Nice idea, just needs more retailers. I don't use any of the ones listed as suppported, at the moment, unfortunately. No FSCS protection can be a concern however.

    Looks like the Lidl shop just got cheaper.

    We already buy a lot of our supermarket shopping and other retail purchases using discounted gift cards (topped up using credit cards with rewards or a long 0% period) which provides a similar benefit so I wouldn't want money tied up earning no additional return when it could be in a proper FSCS protected savings account.
