Blue rewards cost is £5 per month and have to pay in £800 min into current account per month otherwise you lose blue rewards membership and Rainy Day reverts to instant access. Also no £5 cash reward if you have Rainy Day but the other benefits still apply.

Again, how do you work that out? You still get the £5 cash reward, as long as you have two direct debits every month. 

From their website.

"You won’t receive a monthly cash reward to your Blue Rewards Wallet for having a Rainy Day Saver account. Your existing monthly Blue Rewards aren’t affected and we’ll keep paying them into your Blue Rewards wallet"

It merely says you don't get £5 for having a Rainy Day Saver account.

It does not say that your £5 reward you get for other transactions gets cancelled.

Ok, that makes more sense. Thanks

It means that if you don't qualify for the monthly cash reward now, adding the Rainy Day Sever won't make you qualify

I have a RDS and also get the cash reward (£5 + £0.31 for insurance)

(However you can't be a member of Blue Rewards and Avios Rewards, you have to choose one or the other)
