    For those who are getting 500 YouGov points (equivalent to £50) every 3 months for linking 10 current accounts/credit cards to YouGov finance, just a reminder that although the accounts are linked for 3 months, you can renew the connections 14 days before they are due to expire and get the points again rather than waiting till the 3 months are up, allowing you to receive 5 lots of £50 in the space of a year rather than 4.

    Since we're about 10 weeks into the year I thought now might be a good time to mention this.
