    Cahoot TCB Offers

    Had an existing Sunny Day Saver and Simple Saver. Applied as a 'new customer' via TCB for another Simple Saver. As others said this was linked to my existing account straight away. Won't bother risking for the Sunny Day Saver just in case.

    Given the Sunny Day Saver is limited to one per customer, and the Simple Saver isn't (and we know Cahoot's IT isn't robust at enforcing this) it's possible cashback entitlement for the SDS requires a manual check by Cahoot/TCB in order that they don't incorrectly track duplicated accounts.

    Or of course having two offers running in parallel has confused them and they haven't set up the SDS one properly. As from other posters' feedback it's not just that the second application doesn't track properly (which was my initial thought - I know from prior experience that two purchases from the same retailer made quickly one after the other don't always track properly).

    Those who already hold the simple saver or sunny day saver(s), are you still giving this a go?
    I've given it a go. Opened a new one for each but so far only the Simple Saver has tracked.
    I wonder if whichever one you do first is the one that tracks at £25
    No the opposite for me 
    the first one Sunny hasn’t tracked 
    the Simple I did the following day has tracked. 
    Likewise for me using same order as you.

    And the Sunny that wife opened (she already had a Simple Saver) hasn't tracked yet either.  Despite our TCB accounts "Clicks to Merchants" showing the click to Sunny Day Saver on both.
    Update:  both my and the wife's SDS have now tracked and showing as Pending but at £0 rather the £25.  

    (The wife also opened an Santander Everyday current account yesterday evening via TCB (which went straight to the £100 Amazon offer page after clicking) and that has tracked at £20 today following the account being approved.)

    So it does just seem to be something odd with SDS's

    So just to confirm, are you saying if you go via TCB site you can claim both the £20 plus the £100 Amazon offer for opening an every day current account.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    Just opened the Santander S&S ISA with £100 and the £75 cashback tracked within around 10 mins.

    In the advanced options you can select a money market fund so no need to take much risk with your money.

    Seems to use the same login details as normal Santander online banking.
    Did I miss out on this one? I can't see it listed as an option on TCB.

    As for the other comments on Nutmeg, I've made a lot of money and Avios out of them over the years, but even with the fees I negotiated with them, they are still very much 'pump and dump'...

    I've opened the cahoot account, received the email from them with the sort code and account number. Says login details will be posted separately. Top Cashback has tracked the £25.

    Do I need to put any money into the Cahoot Account for the cashback to pay or have I done what I need to ?

    Thanks

    I don't know exactly how the cashback firms work out eligibility but since this deal doesn't pay out for at least 3 months I recon it's a good idea if the account in question is still there in 12 weeks - I added some cash.

  • Does anybody know if you can have a Santander Everday current account to get the TCB money if you already have an Edge Up current account?
