I wish I'd stayed on this thread years ago! I've now just realised that although I have no interest in Disney+ whatsoever, it's a much better way of monitising my Club Lloyds benefit, getting about £39 back per year instead of having cinema vouchers or gourmet card going unused.
Sadly I have 2 halifax bank accounts and 1 BoS account connected via Halifax so if they don't redirect the Halifax connection method to Lloyds, I'll be losing them…

The BoS app and login will stay. It’s only Halifax that goes.
Fingers xed that the OB service YouGov are using are aware of the migration plans and will be able to handle it transparently. We shall find out soon

What concerns me is that people reported previously being able to renew Halifax connections via Lloyds and now cannot. Seems too much of a coincidence…

I had an email today saying as a Verified member I can now take out £25 at 2500 points rather than waiting for 5000 so I get money in the account sooner
Edit - note that it's £25 in vouchers only, the option for cash is (currently anyway) only available at 5000
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.

Do you happen to know how I tell if I'm a "Verified Member"? Nothing obvious in the app.

Thought that involved uploading ID docs, so you'd no doubt remember if you'd done that.
See yougov.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/37106567088285-About-ID-Verification
The US equivalent of that article includes the following:
Presumably this is what is currently being rolled out in the UK

Absolutely not. I keep pretty good records but not that good. I've got > 5 years "membership" at YG.

I don't think they started verifying people until quite recently. I've not yet been invited to verify my account and it would take something really significant to tempt me to do so.

I verified years ago and IIRC I was paid five pounds to do it. I'm shown the £25 cashout options but the key one missing is a bank transfer, this is only available at £50. There's a £25 "Virtual Visa card" option which is close but my experience with these is hit and miss, they're often refused.

On iOS in the YouGuv app there’s a ‘verified’ face badge on top right of Home Screen that I beleive is new. Clicking on that takes you to the ‘Account’ tab (or click along the button right) which also states whether you’re verified at the top.
