    I’ve just had my 3no Santander Accounts (Easy Access ISA, Limited Access Saver & Easy Access Saver) made payable and withdrawn to my CA this morning. Easy £75! 

    As always thank you to those who contribute to this thread. I have literally never made such easy money!

    6 weeks for me. Opened 9th Dec, paid out this morning.

    Annnoyingly, I have a couple of cahoots which were opened end of October, but haven't become payable yet.

    Same for me on both points!

    Couple of questions regarding the TCB Santander ISA's

    I understand the minimum deposit for the S&S is £100. One of the conditions says...
    • You will not be eligible for cashback unless you invest within the platform.
    Has anyone managed to leave the £100 as uninvested cash, or did you actually invest in something specific?

    For the easy access ISA, there is no mention on TCB of a minimum deposit, but looking on Santander, it seems like £500 is the minimum amount. Has anyone managed to get the cashback whilst depositing less than £500?

    I can now see the min £500 deposit terms for the easy access ISA.

    Surely you're not going to break the terms now they've manually applied the bonus  :D

    About 7 weeks for me.

    Mind you, one of my Cahoot £25s has been stubbornly sitting as Confirmed (but not payable) for almost as long...

    Maybe it's me - but the eToro search facility was rubbish - part of the reason I'm cutting. Couldn't find RLSTMM for example - found CSH2, though... But I could only see an option to buy in US$ ...with possible exchange fees in both directions?

    I invested in one of the ready made fund boxes. As I don't invest ordinarily it took me a few hours to realise it was in uninvested cash!

    Not sure of the exact terms so I thought it best to put into something rather than leave it.
