I used to just do £1 payments into energy account. Nice and simple.

Sign up for Trading212 using a referral link, open a stocks and shares ISA and deposit via debit card as many times as you want. £1 at a time works fine.

After £2000 of card deposits there is a 0.7% fee.

I completed the recent TSB incentive (20 transactions per month) by logging onto my broadband or mobile phone  account and paying a pound off my bill x 20. These were the only transactions on the account barring the monthly deposit and I had no problems. I'd have been less keen to mess about in Tesco buying twenty small items, especially as I wasn't using the account other than to bag the cash and hotel stay.

I use my debit card to transfer into a savings account. I have 2 savings accounts that allow payments by debit card, Skipton and Family Building Society. I transfer 10x £10 payments in.

ZeroSum

Pay small amounts off credit card
Pay small amount to utilities companies 
Put through single items at supermarkets 
Deposit amounts into savings accounts
Buying a pint at the pub multiple times
Theres any amount & 10 payments is dead easy

How long does the £1000 credit have to stay in account? Thanks.

A nano second. ie it can go in & straight out again. It doesn’t have to be £1k in one lump. It could be 2x£500, 4x£250 etc etc. Just make sure you leave enough in there to cover your DD payments.

Thanks for replies. I transferred in £1300 and transferred it out a few hours later and it still hasn't hit HSBC. Im getting a bit worried now. Is FPS max. 2 hours?

Faster payments can take up until end of next working day, but that's very much an exception.

Co-op tend not to be the quickest but don't think I've waited more than a couple of hours for a FP out to credit elsewhere. Don't have HSBC so don't know if they are tardy to credit.

If it's the first time you've transferred from Co-Op to HSBC then it's also possible it has gotten flagged by security. Could be worth following up with Co-op if it doesn't arrive at HSBC.

Open a Chip savings account which allows deposits by debit card.
