  • i'm using an unused low% savings a/c & doing a bank transfer a day. random amounts based on what i can scrabble together/which stage in the month we are at - i have a funny dated pay day, so it works for me.  For the nitty-gritty detail... (yawning yet?!) last year I'd used a Ntwde saver, but had missed the fact the monthly £50pay in cap didn't work every month with my cunning plans of randomness where some months' contributions needed to be over £50.That broke my consistency and made the saving process difficult... so I'm happy this year to sacrifice a higher rate for the joy of a daily transfer without curtailment. That way I get to colour in a random amount on a paper page each day. 'tis the small things that can make us smile!!.

    Hi:-)
    I do the daily trivia which usually gets me 10-20SB. I only get around 4 points for the general daily stuff. I don't spend a long time trying to get points. It used to be great but now they want you to do loads of stuff for very little.
    I did download the monopoly game app which gives several points depending on what level you're at. I do enjoy playing the game for around 5-10 minutes a day, no more. The SB amounts for completing the levels gets awarded after 30 days but you only get around 14 days to get through all the different levels to get the SB. So upto 3125SB if you manage to complete X amount of levels in those 14 days.
    The surveys are useless now:-( Most only give you 1SB after answering several questions, so they've become a total waste of time:-(
