    Yes, I opened account on 24th Oct, paid out 24th Nov.

    I had an email this morning from Zopa which clarifies exactly what happens after your current account first anniversary. It's relatively positive news though getting the cashback asap seems a good idea, just in case they change the eligibility
    I wonder if I've jumped the gun on my year 2 DD, did think I'd checked the dates OK but I haven't received this email and there's no sign of £30.

    Oh well, can just do another cycle at Moneybox.

    Question regarding the Moneybox cycle.

    I know it starts on a Wednesday, but does the money need to be in your Zopa current account on that day, or does it just need to be there at the moment the direct debit is taken, ie Monday?

    Just trying to minimise the length of time that the cash is sitting in the Zopa current account earning lower interest.

    I have done a £1 test which started the cycle 2 days ago (Wednesday), and is due to be debited on Monday. On this occasion the £1 has been in my Zopa current account since Wednesday, but now wondering whether that was necessary?

    My DD cashback £30 (year 2) has appeared in my CA this AM, no second cycle at Moneybox necessary.

    Fantastic! Thanks for letting us know.

    My second year DD was taken a couple of days ago, so I am now firmly planning on a £30 cashback to land soon

    My account anniversary is today. I've had the email to say that I'm still eligible for 2% variable cashback on DDs, so I've also set up another Moneybox DD to pull next week :)
