How do you get these to £5k. They are only £150 p/mth

• Round ups on debit card (i.e. 'pay' 1p to get £1.98 added to the account)
• MyRewards payouts (when you select the Digital Regular Saver to payout to).
  

The above don't count towards the £150/month deposit cap. Otherwise it's 30-33 monthly deposits.

Sorry, I'm late to the whole Natwest/RBS round up thing. Is there a summary anywhere of the benefits that can be gained by using it and how to do so?. My current assumption is that the main one is that the £150 a month deposit limit can be increased by deliberately choosing to use the debit card in such a way as to generate round ups so you earn the 6% on more than £150 a month and reach £5000 limit quicker. Also on a related thing, can you have an RBS and Natwest RS then? I thought you could only have one or the other for some reason 

You can also deposit any Reward payments you may be earning at Natwest into the Digital Saver. Such payments don't count towards the monthly £150, either.

Same at RBS.

Thanks. From my point of view, the money I'm able to use to fund my multiple RS accounts comes from spending on 0% credit cards so if I switched to debit card spending it would reduce what I had available so I'll have to think if its worth partly switching to debit card spending.

You can use your debit card to pay into a savings account to earn the round ups. Then you can withdraw the money from the savings account.

That's useful to know. Do most savings accounts have facility to pay money in via debit card? Not something I've come across before.

You can get Natwest/RBS rewards without spending with cards.

I'd suggest that's unlikely.

If you get 0% cash, and put it in an easy-access ~5% account, you're earning 5% p.a. on what you spend.

If you stop doing that, and instead put cash into a 6.17% account, you're earning ~1.2% over and above what you'd earn in an easy access.

So you'd be making yourself worse off on the whole.

Furthermore, you're not even earning it on the amount you spend, you're earning it on the double-up which is worth up to £1.98 per purchase as far as I'm aware.

Those two do allow it into Regular Saver Accounts generally - though some products may have specific restrictions that I am unaware of. SRBS for example allows it into easy access but not regular saver.

There's NS&I too, but it takes nearly two weeks with them for you to be able to retrieve your money again. There's reports of Skipton getting funny about it if you make too much of the facility.
And Chip. I use them - that one's quite handy, because you can use Google Pay, which allows you to use umpteen debit cards easily.
