This feels like one of those Christmas family gatherings where someone brings along a quiz. Only better.

(Hopefully it's not just my family that does that and you all know what I mean )

Believe me, I would not be the one providing a Christmas quiz. I'm the one that usually avoids all things festive like the plague, unless it's a regular saver.

Current account switching can be very lucrative (and tax-free). Done with care, organisation and persistence it can net you more than a basketful of RS's. Unfortunately it doesn't last forever and you will sooner or later run out of switches for which you qualify. Definitely worth doing while it lasts, though.  I've more or less done them all, started with a switch of a RBS current account to Clydesdale Bank around 2014. I don't often qualify now but ever hopeful.

The organisation & management of RSs through spreadsheets if fun to me, so will be doing the same with the 'Switching' project, and plan it out before pulling the trigger.
Not really a hobby you discuss in pubic though, even OH isn't really interested, but she appreciates what financial planning gives her.
Need to find the MSE threads on 'Switching', as a leaning portal, no doubt another highly used thread.

Most important thing to do is probably open a current account with Chase, you can then open others with them at the click of a button to 'Switch'.

NEVER close or switch the 1st Chase account.

I made £1250 last year!

My offering - Darker grey not currently funded, lighter grey minimal funding requirement. These accounts tend to move in/out of funding dependent on EA rates at the time and are all effectively EA, therefore balances can be withdrawn when rates drop and funds placed elsewhere.
Pink due to mature in the next few week, funding stopped as max balances reached. Many pink accounts will be replaced with newer versions.

.........

ETA : oops, missed one, funded with minimum to enable use of Mansfield Bonus RS8

MANSFIELD ReS 30 1 3.70V

Impressive!

How many Regular Saver accounts do you have?

Finding the answer was a bit frightening after deciding early this year to reduce and only look at 6% and over - currently have 24 all except Cumberland fully funded (only keep it as it doesn't have an end date and just funded with minimum £25). Also have the NatWest & RBS ones which were at maximum £5000 but are now being used to fund other savers.
Monthly payments in total £6210 
Current value  £36504

Is that 24 including NW & RBS, or 26 including those two? TIA.
