  • Oh man I just need another £5 for a cash out.
    Anyway to get to this amount now?
    Yup. Just keep doing the surveys they send you.

    I had 50+10 yesterday and another 50 today, for boring as hell surveys that I completed with my morning coffee.

    At least today's (insurance) was not politics driven, for a change.

    My surveys seem to have dried up - maybe I shouldn’t have installed Pulse. Not 100% sure that those points are going to appear either, as the installation didn’t seem to go as they described (I have another VPN, though it says Pulse active when I open the app on my phone.)

    I would swap in a heartbeat for your politics ones. The answers to my most recent one was mostly 'none of the above' and I don't think I've ever selected anything in the 'proud to work for' grid. I can get really involved in the 'who do you bank/save with' ones though :)

    The most likely reason for the closure is they gathered enough data to move to the next phase of development. That will have come about quicker through more people signing up, but it isn't to the detriment of the end user of the data.
    Or that an increasing proportion of the data shared came from accounts with no other activity than a regular monthly transfer and a couple of monthly DDs.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.
  • Similar to bonus bagging, will always be some people that abuse the offer. Writing was always on the wall with people adding as many accounts as they did.

    They set the limit at 10 so people are going to use 10 if they can.

    That would be a reason to put limits on the accounts that would qualify to be added/renewed, which they did not do. From what I'd seen the analysis had improved significantly over the time I used it, so it was well trained to categorise and pick out useful data from noise, whereas it was useless at the outset. If the ultimate aim is to bootstrap an open banking aggregator service for a third party provider, it should be well able to deal with those of us who have round robins and hub+spokes arrangements set up.

    There are less surveys since they added Safe. They sometimes ask what you have watched on TV in surveys anyway, but their selection of Netflix shows is always so out of date I have to click something random or N/A.

    How do you add Safe? Do you have to do it via PC? Haven’t seen the option anywhere.
