    Have you had an email recently about them closing the Entertainment category?
    I had one yesterday which said reminder..but I don't recall having had a previous one.
    If it's true, I will be disappointed as I do log a lot of book purchases ( perhaps unsurprisingly :D)
  • Yes, I did. Have just checked and it was sent 26/11. The subject was "Important Information Regarding Christmas" though, so not obvious by any means!

    Ah...OK. Thank you
    That's another site which will be less fruitful for me now. Shame.
  • I too had both the emails, I'm rather disappointed as most of my purchases are in the entertainment category and now Consumer Pulse will be significantly less fruitful.

    Have just got round to reading the email Vanguard sent me on Thursday, to discover they are more than doubling my account fees as my lowly investments with them are below £32k. Ouch 😥 

    Research into other providers has gone on the Christmas holidays to-do list....

    The Rebel Finance website has just launched a calculator so you can work out what the effect for you us of the fee increase, based on your current balance and contributions. Might be worth a look!
  • Ooh, thank you. Will add that to the list as well (already longer than I can possibly get through 🤦‍♀️)
