    Received e-mail from RBS saying "You can now exchange your Rewards and pay them directly into your eligible Royal Bank savings accounts."
    I wonder if it means above the £150 monthly allowance or within it.  Any suggestions?
    I think the key word is eligible.

    By that I'm going to hazard a guess they mean all the low percentage savings accounts.

    Would be really good if they included the Digital Saver but highly doubt it.

    You can pay your round ups into the Digital Regular Saver. There's no definition of eligible 
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    I'll find out when I get my next £5. If Digital Saver is eligible it should appear on the app as an option, and if it does then I will assume that it can be deposited in addition to £150 the same as round-ups.

    Digital saver did appear as an option on my NatWest rewards when I withdrew earlier in the month, but as I’d already recently paid in the max of £150 I just sent it to my current account instead as I assumed it wouldn’t be accepted. I’d be happy to find out otherwise.

    Just checked my Saffron app, Maturity Manager showing up for my 9% Members Month account, shows up with my instruction to go into my Easy Access Saffron account and the amount on 5th June will be £629.75 in total.😊🙂

    Only £629.21 for me. Are Saffron one of those that will backdate to the day of sending if you fund on a non-working day then? I never tried it so this could be the difference. Any interest paid on my monthly EA I internal transferred on the 1st then topped up via FP on the first working day.

    And I won't be able to spend that penny as mine is £629.20 :'(

    This is not investment advice.
    Your money may go "down and up and down and up and down and up and down ... down and up and down and up and down and up and down ... I got all tricked up and came up to this thing, lookin' so fire hot, a twenty out of ten..."

    Bridlington - My Saffron 9% Members Month account matures June 5. You mentioned it will be replaced by an 8% Members Month account which is good news, although I presume the low £50 a month maximum deposit will continue.
    I presume we will have to wait for the 9% version to mature before opening the new 8% one.
