I was just going into a meeting earlier so sent that post before checking out the survey.

Got in later, clicked the link (e-mail notification), didn't work, deleted e-mail.

Went on Yougov app, no sight of it.

Very strange.

Ones for lower numbers of points (barring the 10 point YouGov ratings) appear as Flash Surveys which give a short window of time to complete. Perhaps it was one of these. 

I was under the impression that 50 (and less frequently 100) were their standard offering.

Could have been yes, I don't get many of those type, any e-mail invites normally give me a few hours grace.

It did make me wonder if there was something iffy which is why I deleted it after the first try.

50+10 for me today. Not too boring either. Twas around Loyalty Schemes, in the main.

Now that they are no longer awarding the quarterly 5000 points but have said to look out in due course for a new way to earn points, have people here revoked consent for all their connected bank accounts for now until details of the new offer are released?

Not explicitly, just letting them expire.

Revoked all mine as soon as they stated that no more points will be earned. I had literally renewed them the week before.

I went and revoked mine at both ends - through YouGov and through my bank. Interestingly, there were a few duplicate consents on my bank accounts from previous renewals that said they were still active, even though they should've expired according to YouGov. Not 100% sure what was going on there, but I've cancelled everything for belt and braces to make sure they can't take my data anymore without paying for it in some form.

I can't even remember what I did   I had two weeks left until renewal so probably left the connections to end when due.  I any case, Im not hopeful for a new offer to be released any time soon and don't expect it to be as good as the one they've discontinued.

I'm now just 60 points off my next £50 reward, having completed a survey this morning. So, hopefully, there'll be a 10pts bonus survey on end of next one to get me over the line. No bonus one today.

How do you check your own accounts for the consents that are on them? - is it just ring the bank and ask them or can you see through your own online banking?

You can see your open banking linkages through online banking, no need to ring them. It's often hidden away, but you can usually find it through "connected accounts" or "open banking" or something similar in your privacy/security settings.
