    I made debit card payments (originally on the card and then via google pay) and qualified fine

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    So far, this year lve deposit £1000 into my current account (in and out) and also done 25 debit card payments. Additionally l fund the regular saver monthly so does anybody think lve done enough steps to hopefully get the £100 fairer share?

    I'm thinking of carrying on with my routine for April, May also?

    Nobody knows, what we think doesn't matter, we just have to wait until their AGM full year results announcement in May to find out if there even will be a scheme this year.

    Are you talking to yourself, or showing how totally dreadful this new quote system is?

    They do it alongside the full year results in May not at the AGM which is in July

    Last year the payout was announced 29th May, their AGM was 25th July and they'd already done the fair share payout between 18th June and 4th July

    Their half year results (to 30th September 2025) were a statutory pre-tax profit of £486m (14% down on the £568m the previous year) and income of £3.1bn (up from £2.1bn in 2024) in part because of the Virgin books

    Hi.Quickie question please.

    I've always qualified for the NW bonus, but may have messed up for this year.

    I have a Flex Regular Monthly Saver 2, but emptied it taking my savings elsewhere 1st November 25.

    On top of the other stipulations, If I bung £200 back into it today, would I technically be eligible for this year's bonus (if there is one coming)

    Also, someone said it's worth having some faster payments go through...

    I'm paid personal independence payment. Would they come under faster payments to cover all their bases please?

    Many thanks
