If you want to scrape by with bare minimum outgoings or don't want to overfund Plum, use 'Pay Days' a little lower down in the Plum Brain section than Weekly Depositor, and you can set a £2 fortnightly collection and tick off the monthly 2 x DD requirements for RBS or Natwest rewards

Good shout, thanks. I use Plum only for RBS and Natwest is Moneybox as you can only collect from one account. 

seriously

Does it have to be £2? Can't I do just 10p or something haha?

RBS/Natwest have a £2 minimum to qualify for rewards.

Ahhh got it. Thanks. I didn't read properly. I'm using Plum for TSB.

Not sure if it is only me, but Plum isn't collecting any funds from my account. 

I have set weekly depositor on for £2 and overdraft deposits on with £50. When you are in the overdraft settings it shows -£50 so Plum should collect at least until I use £50 overdraft but on the main screen it says "Don't set aside below £50. It's all rather confusing. I have no overdraft and there are £6 in the account so should be no problem to collect 2 x £2. Most likely it is too late now to get 2 DD Payouts to get the full reward. Was all working fine before Plum took the manual feature away.

Moneybox is collecting regardless of account balance and Natwest just send a text when I am overdrawn so I can balance out should I have forgotten to put funds in ahead of collection.

I think it might be to do with those overdraft settings. I've no idea how they work but why don't you just put £50 or £100 in the account to take those settings out of the equation.

Because I can't see the point of leaving money in an account I don't use generating 0% interest. Plum didn't collect either without the overdraft settings in place so I put them on in hope it would change anything

Plum have continued to collect from me using the Pay Days option, unfortunately as the end of the month is next monday it's probably too late for you to get it set up in time to take 2 payments.

Have you still got paypal connected from the RBS/NatWest round-up/saver? 2 x manual additions to your paypal wallet (via a/c, not card) will count for the reward direct debits but you'd need to be quick about it due to the time it takes.
