    I opened several cash ISAs over the past year, I'm ISAd up fully, I just checked the t+c's of all of them - none are flexible!
    Only solution would be to transfer some from one of those to a flexible ISA then deposit to the Santander S+S ISA. A lot of faff.
    TCB terms seem to indicate a transfer would be acceptable to comply with the terms but it adds complexity and a layer of doubt as to whether cashback would materialise.

    May skip this one.

    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.

    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.

    There also appears to be a Nutmeg sticks and shares ISA with £75 on offer. Need to keep open for 2 years.

    Nutmeg used to be way more generous.

    Cashback on investment accounts generally hasn't kept up with inflation.

    doh, tried Santander S&S ISA today and TCB redirected to a page saying

    "This advertiser link is no longer active."

    edit: just checked again and now TCB has also removed the offer from it's website.

    Me and the wife have done both via Topcashback. The Simple Saver tracked for both of us at £25 straight away but the Sunny Day Saver has not tracked at all. We have both done raised this but it's on ice for a week before it will be officially submitted to the merchant.
