You Gov Finance offer scrapped

That's a pity - I just re done all my accounts a few days ago too. I wonder if my points went through?. Can't seem to log onto yougov to see.

I can log on to Yougov via the app, it clearly shows my points

I can log in fine, and in fact have done so yesterday and today for further surveys.

Points from added accounts can take a few days to appear. Hopefully, your points will have been earned while the offer still available.

Points added - I've got 8630. Just redeemed 5000 for £50.  Not sure I can be bothered to do surveys to get another 1370. Will be removing my accounts from their system now.

Yes, but you won't be able to get anymore using your bank accounts.

In brief, yes you can no longer generate points by linking your bank accounts to YouGov finance, but you can still get points by all the other methods they offer - the primary one being surveys. Gonna be boring as hell to get to the next 5k threshold to cash out my remaining points, but at least there is still a mechanism to do so.
