Trying to add new account and got this message 


Is this a new limitation?

Interesting. Looks like someone at YouGov may have cottoned on to some of the volumes of accounts being put through.

It took them longer than I expected, but not that surprised. I suppose best to make sure those 10 accounts are all current accounts or credit cards.

I'm sure someone will be along before too long to let us know how their attempts at multiple YG accounts went...

I've just noticed this as well, which I don't think was there before. I've had one reward of 500 (£50) so far, although not all of the that from bank links, some of it from surveys.

I've not had any rewards yet, and have 2 left to redeem. I still need a few more surveys to get me across the line.

Oh dear that's a shame.....

Some confusion in the wording of YouGov's reported messages  re "Bank Accounts" vs "Rewards".

So I guess the limit is 10 Bank accounts linked and 2 Rewards claimed within a three month period. Disappointing, but still a useful recurring £100 to be had every 3 months.

Also on the upside, there's now no point in holding on to those multiple old TSB Spend and Save accounts - can close them down and get some new ones which still pay TSB's £5 monthly reward now.

I hope you are right about that and it's not 2 rewards claimed from this point onward. The 10 bank account limit already prevents more than one reward being claimed in a 3 month period, does it not?

Their terminology is rather confusing.

YouGov Finance

• What will I earn?
• You will be rewarded 500 YouGov points for active GBP current accounts and credit cards.
• You currently have 2 rewards left to redeem.

YouGov

• The YouGov Support team awarded 500 points for Thank you for sharing with YG Finance.
  
• You still need [X] Points to redeem
  
• £50 Cash Reward

If you've never redeemed your points for a Reward (on YouGov), does being rewarded/awarded points for sharing one account with YG Finance constitute redeeming one out of the ten allotted reward redemptions within YG Finance?

Unless some other marketing entities pop up in the future and want to use open banking to monetize your financial data. Or hold onto to them for future switch incentives.

On the finance site, mine states: "You currently have no rewards left to redeem."

The way I had understood it was that I had filled my quota of 10/10 rewarded bank accounts.

On the main YouGov app, I am a few hundred points away from the next redemption, but there is no indication of any limitations or restrictions on that side.

Weirdly, a bunch of my submitted accounts have disappeared from the Manage page, and then all of my TSB accounts (edit: including all additional profiles) have had their access expire (with corresponding "Reconsent" buttons).
