I’ve never actually opened a S&S GIA, but I’m assuming any decent provider would have a report for you for the end of the financial year so you wouldn’t have to figure it out yourself. I get one for my SIPP each year.South_coast said:Aaahhh, so I'd need to keep records of buy/sell prices/dates as well?

I think I just signed up 🤔 They used to be called Panelbase, but changed last year some time. I like them, it's cash out (for cash, but vouchers too) at £10 and the surveys are fairly regular. They get sent by email, which is perfect for me as no need for checking. I've just checked and they don't have any referral codes, or I'd send you oneMortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

I'm still stuck on 41 points, Ed! Hope you're doing better than me - only two completed surveys so far this year 🤦♀️! I've had an app on my phone for the last few months which should be worth £15 though (think it's for them 🤔), so I'm ever-hopeful I will hit payout at some point 🤣!edinburgher said:
