Does anyone know if there is an offer for opening a Mettle business account anywhere? Refer a friend maybe?

There is a £50 referral offer running at the moment. You won't find codes on this site.

Google 'mettle uk referral codes'

Anybody gone for this? Flexible ISA so funds don't have to be in for too long.

I have. Sticking it in a money market fund. Will probably keep it there until end of the tax year, while using the flexibility, and see what the new rules for "cash-like" investments are and what cashback for ISA transfers are offered at that time

I note that Charles Stanley has vanished from TCB. Maybe they were targeting the new tax year investors, maybe the whole 'failure to track' SNAFU has put them off, who knows.

My 2 claims are still On Ice in any case…

Good spot - I'm quite tempted with this, if you put £10k in for 14 days (15 May - 29 May) and you get £200 into your account at the end of it and then withdraw the £10k from ISA to put somewhere else?

You have to invest by 15 May. Cashback paid by 29 May but I don't think you have to hold until then.

Was this the £150 cashback if you invest £500, if so mine did not track I did a claim and came back a couple of days ago as successful, still pending but now showing in my balance so should go to payable soon, I think I did the transaction on 6th March

I think you're right there - the qualifying transactions need to take place within the offer period which is until 15 May, therefore one might think that any transactions outside of the offer period are disregarded…
Although, for 2 weeks, it might be worth leaving it at 2% to be sure you get the cashback. I think I'm going to go for it, especially if I can get the money out of my old Santander fixed ISA early, penalty free.

Likewise, after submitting claims on 5 Feb for transactions that took place on 26 Jan, both my wife's and my cashback moved from not tracking to showing £150 pending yesterday.
