YouGov are Paying 500 Points (£5) For Connecting/Reconnecting Bank Accounts | CONFIRMED

In the summer, I sat in a park in Italy (I was on a far too brief holiday) adding all of my bank accounts to YouGov Finance. Back then, someone posted on here about how YouGov Finance paid £5 for access via Open Banking for each account you connected.

HERE IS THE ORIGINAL POST WITH ALL OF THE DETAILS

I connected 13 accounts. And I got paid £65 for them.

Fast forward a few months, my account consent had expired, and I reconnected one. No bonus. Bummer.

---

Fast forward to yesterday, and I received an email with the following:

What can I earn?

• 500 points for each active current account or credit card you connect - this is worth £5

• 100 points for each active savings account you connect - this is worth £1

I figured I would give it another go. Yesterday, I reconnected my Revolut account. I added as if I was adding a new account (I'm not sure if updating the consent does the same). This morning I received my 500 points. Proof

Guess who is going to add all his bank accounts again? u/TightAsF_ck, that's who.

MAY YOU ALL FEAST ON STEAK PIE AT NEW YEAR PAID FOR BY YOUGOV

This is the message you get when you re-add:

Congratulations!

For each valid active account, you will receive points within 48 hours. (Note: You can only receive points once every three months for each valid active account).

I hope the negative nancy who is downvoting everything today has gone to bed. Positive Percy's please be awake.

PS - There is a referral scheme for YouGov, but I'll be damned if I can find it.
