    Hmm, still not appearing for me, either on the website or on the app. Wonder if it's an eligibility issue...
    I would doubt it. There's been no mention of eligibility criteria. Have you tried logging off and on again?
    Yep. As others have said, will just have to wait!

    Those who had access before, are points credited daily, monthly or quarterly? Would be nice if daily so as soon as you hit the 5000 points mark you can cash out and don't have to wait ages for it to be credited. 
    Daily.  If you do surveys you will get to the next £50 quicker.

    Obviously the more surveys you do the sooner you get 5000 points

    I don't get many.  Last month I've earned 85 points from two surveys.  Used to get between 5-10 surveys every month.

    There are not as many as there used to be but only one gets you to 5000 points quicker than none at all

    Surveys are done as soon as you do them, finance is updating daily, soon as you hit 5000 you can cash out and start accumulating again.  

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    There is a user preference thing you can set about frequency - though if you are not in a target demographic they might not offer a lot of surveys e.g. if they have a huge amount of say white male 60-69 year olds who vote Tory and the survey wants a split, you might not get as many surveys if it's random. I get maybe 1-3 a week here but I don't want to take part in things like the hour long TV session ones so I don't get those

    Also, I was wondering what a Chase savings account would be registered as, because it acts like a current account allowing direct debits, but it has registered as a savings account (I was one current accounts short, so was worth a try).

    I couldn't get Chase to link for me at all, which is sad because it would be really easy to just open 10 Chase accounts and just link them for easy money
    Easy if there was an advanced warning.  In order to qualify the accounts have to be opened for more than a month and have had at least 1 transaction in the past 30 days.
    It's more I had technical issues that prevented me from linking any Chase accounts - not sure why but it threw up an error message when it transferred me to the Chase site. My Chase accounts are definitely older then that and have sufficient transaction history. At least I have enough other current accounts so I'm not too fussed
    It's not just you. I got the same error message with Chase.

    I find it's a little better in this respect, as previously 10 linked accounts meant you got 5000 points in a single go. Although that meant you could immediately cash them out, it meant that any leftover points from surveys, etc, were a bit awkward to do anything with.
