That's a great tip re. Edge charges (and one I now note in their Key Facts Document), I want Edge for the 6% Saver and RS (and a stab at the shopping voucher) so wont activate the monthly fee and DD cashback to reduce admin.
Re. Zopa Biscuit my "Switch Benefits" button has reappeared as of today, and my new benefits commence 27th Sep (for some reason).

27th will be your 'monthverssary' date, ie the date of the month you first opened the account. Mine is 3rd.

My 2% on £1500 is due to reset on October.
I can understand people who have already reset this summer now being able to double dip on the green scheme, but what do we think the chances are of them resetting the allowance for people in September onwards under the old scheme, now that they're trying to encourage people into their new regume?
Also, my old emails from then just say 2% on £1500 per year but I seem to remember it was capped at £10pcm because I split it into 3 lots of £500. Does this ring true?
Trying to decide whether to forego September's new-scheme cashback in the hope that i am able to renew on the old scheme in October, milk that, then switch to the new scheme in January

The old, old scheme was as you say, 2% on £1500 DD per year. What many chose to do was a single DD for £1500 (Moneybox is/was popular) thus getting the whole £30 in the next month. There is/was no monthly cap, this features in the later schemes.

I've looked high and low in the Android app and I can't see anything about the new benefits

It's disappeared from my Android app (for the second time) too.

I lost the button for a few days but it reappeared. Check under the first App page tab (Spend) → scroll to Benefits and click arrow next to it → you should see a page of existing benefits and (possibly) a "Switch my benefits" button below that will show you new options.

Just had a thought, are DD's from National Lottery allowed as qualifying DDs?

AFAIK although they state cashback on bills it's actually cashback on DD so any DD works.
