No sign of my 'cashed out' £50 pyts from the 14th Jan. Has the 'MSE effect' killed this particular golden goose? Has anybody else received payments in their bank since then?

I think you have hit the nail on the head.

Too many jumped on the band wagon 

Greed has paid a big part in that increasing opening new bank accounts to get more 500 points 

Empirical (/anecdotal) evidence suggests that newly opened accounts are not generating any points.

And I also unclear how doing that is any more greedy than opening accounts just for switching bonuses?

I registered on Friday 13th Jan (hmm, maybe not a good choice of day ) and my points were credited on the 14th.

Yes, same for me, points have been added after exactly 24 hours (which would be useful for identifying which have tracked/added points, had I noted when I added which accounts)

My comment

newly opened accounts are not generating any points.

was about newly opened accounts, with little activity history, which don't seem to add points at all.

Unless you know different (i.e. your accounts were newly opened bank accounts) and have some positive news 🤞.

I had no issues here. Several of my accounts didn't earn points, but I expected that as they've been dormant.

I cashed out on 16th & money in bank on 17th

Bridlington1 It could be that but I think it more likely that it's the definition of "active accounts" that's causing difficulties. All the Ts&Cs say is that accounts need to have regular transactions on them, but if an account has only been open for a few days then how does YouGov know that the very few transactions on the account are regular transactions?

Yougov uses open banking which usually has how long the account has been open as one of its metrics so they know if it’s a new account

Got excited when a new survey was available, but only 50 points and suggests takes 12 mins to complete.
Will wait until I have 12 mins with nothing better to do.

However the last account I added tracked points in just over 24 hours*
So at least in this instance, points are tracking as normal.
And I now have enough to redeem again 😁.

Note: this was an existing account, with activity history.
So far only new accounts, or those with very low/no regular activity have failed to track for me.

*ETA: in previous posts I thought this was exactly 24 hours, but after checking the time that the bank shows the OB connection from Truelayer being made, it looks like points were added about 24 and a bit hours later

Have you got yours? I also redeemed on 14th but yet to receive the payout.

I redeemed mine yesterday morning and they turned up the same day.

Similar, redeemed last night, and just arrived (and applied)
This was a gift card rather than bank payment. Maybe the latter is a slower process.

Note: while you need to select a gift card brand when you redeem the points, when the reward arrives, you can then choose again.
Albeit is possible different brands use the different third party e-gift card providers, so initial choice may limit second one.

They are usually quick I have had several £50 over the years

Did you go through the request funds completely 

Check your points balance

@Band7
Have any of your newly created accounts that didn't initially track/get points, now tracked?

Assuming this is ongoing, then the question is what needs to be done in the next three months to get them "active" enough.
