I've just signed up for this. Managed to link 6 current accounts and 2 credit cards, also the santander e-saver. 

Savings accounts at Nationwide not accepted but flex c/a account was.

Can't see any total of points credited or a function to check the ballance on the site, is this normal? 

Yes you can check the points on your Yougov account 

Not Yougov finance 

Thanks, I've been weary of open banking, but as they pay for seeing my data, I've relented.

I've been with yougov a very long time in fact I'm now a yougov plus by invitation

I was also invited to be part of yougov finance and not being one of these people who like to hide from data collectors I joined immediately 

I have 10 accounts on there connected at different times, I keep a check on how they are doing and each account tell you how long before they can be reconnected 

I have noticed the reconnect button goes live up to 10 days before the actual permission runs out so keep up to speed

let me see if my summary is correct.

add 10 current accounts (multiple accounts with same bank count as individual accounts?)
get 5000 points, redeem. wait 3 months and do same again? 4 x £50 per year?

Yep. I've had 2 lots of £50 (tip - do not pay into a Santander account if you can help it) and halfway towards my 3rd now.

All my accounts are staggered so I know which ones pass the enigma of the algorithm.

I'm with Santander and had many £50 from Yougov finance since I was invited when it first started 

That's where the £50 go

Never had a problem 

On the day you get the next £50 from yougov into your Santander account, check your balance against your available balance.

I had £50 last week but never checked available balance 

Why would I when I don't need to ?

I know every penny that goes in and out of that account and when

The available balance would be short by £50. Which could be a problem if you wished to transfer it elsewhere.

It's great for you if it's not a problem for you that your available balance is short of £50 for a few days after the yougov £50 appears to have arrived.

It might be a problem for others who might unwittingly go overdrawn as a result of Santander's weird processing of yougov payments.

Some of mine have offered reconnection 13 days ahead.

This is very true.

I can't log into my yougov account as I'm not getting sent the verification code.

Any idea how to fix this please?

Maybe a daft suggestion, but have you checked your Junk Mail?
