YouGov finance, how many transactions do accounts need.

Bridlington1

Good morning,

I have just noticed YouGov finance will give you 500 YouGov points for each current account/credit card and 100 points for each savings account you link to them. The website says:

You will be awarded 500 YouGov points for each active* GBP current account or credit card added, and 100 points for each savings account, within 48 hours.
*Active accounts are your open GBP account(s) with regular bank transactions.

The question is, how many/what value transactions do YouGov need for an account to be considered "active"? I was thinking of opening up a load of easy access savings accounts, linking them up to YouGov, then just bouncing £1 through them all once a month to get the YouGov points. Then relinking the accounts every 90 days to get the points again.

Hi, did you find out if this works to get an "active" account?
Thanks

There has been a thread about it on the budgeting and bank accounts board since January. See:

The thread is 29 pages long and there is still no fixed definition of what is an "active" account.
