If you're not already getting cashback from Santander for your council tax, that might be one to try.

I had that set up on the zopa account but I've changed it back to the Santander lite account

I tried to add my Halifax CC a few months ago and it would work. Zopa have me £10 in compensation. 
Tried it again last week and it works now.
They're getting there!

i just opened one of these accounts and I am going to open a simple saver with Moneybox, to pay in £1500 to get the £30 cashback.
Can someone please advise, when on the add money page (below) will a one off deposit be paid by direct debit, or do I need to select the weekly deposit and then cancel it after the first payment has been made.

I did exactly this - select custom one-off and set to £1500, took around a week to collect the cash by DD. There's a lag of around 3 days before you can access the cash in the Moneybox account (should you wish to).

This is what I did as well. Also keep in mind that you are limited to one withdrawal each month from the Moneybox saver account, so make sure you haven't already used it up if you intend to move the money back to Zopa straight away.

Registered on the waiting list on the 31st December, invitation was in the app last night. Last time I checked  a week ago, and there was nothing. Their iPad app is a pain.

I had trouble with Barclaycard. If you phone Barclaycard they can set it up over the phone. Mine is working ok.
