Co‑operative Bank Everyday Rewards

Postby Sarah » Tue Jul 03, 2018 9:21 am

Similar to Halifax/Bank Of Scotland reward accounts, this credits £4/month to qualifying account holders.

However it requires paying out four (yes four) direct debits per month!

It also rewards 5p for each debit card transaction, up to maximum of £1.50/month.

Limited to 1 account per person.

* £4 for each month if you qualify.

Many thanks for spotting and posting this Sarah!

Mrs Preston and I have dusted off our existing, long time unused, Coop current accounts and gone for this.

I missed the convenience of the Tesco Internet Saver DD creating facility, but where there's a will there's a way! ;)

Got to like the potential of a yearly £132 for opting to go paperless and setting up a couple of funding and sweeping SO's and sitting back.

We'll be boosting our rewards by using the Coop debit card to pay for our daily Waitrose "free coffee" purchases.

Every little helps! :D

4DDs does move them into "real current account" territory.

Yeah, that takes some effort, however I haven't ruled it out. I could switch a couple of BoS Vantage accounts next month. That would give me 6 assorted direct debits to work with so might be worthwhile for around £50 per year without having to leave any more than a nominal amount in there!

Think I'm up and running with Co‑operative Bank Everyday Rewards now, having switched two BoS Vantage accounts last month to provide enough re-purposed direct debits for very little effort.

It can take up to a month for the first reward payments to be credited, so won't know for sure that everything is working successfully until then; in the meantime I'm going to begin having some "fun" generating lots of 5p debit card cashback payments... with my credit card cashback earnings now only 0.7% that makes these rewards a winner for transactions up to £7.15 (max 30 times per month)!

it's a nice deal, but i find very places that i can't spend Amex, and those that don't i want to use my Barclaycard Visa.. spending on a debit card is a little anti-stooze for my liking :mrgreen:.

This was one of the better account benefits remaining, not requiring much of a balance to be kept in the account and fee free too. They're making some changes from June 1st with the base reward decreasing from £4/month to £2/month and also the debit card transaction limit increasing from 30 @ 5p/each to 60 @ 5p/each. So the maximum benefit drops from £5.50 to £5.00 and also requires a lot more effort to reach that level.

I didn't know they were reducing the rewards.
I have been using this account for a while now, for depositing money into betting sites.
Recently started using chip savings, as they use your debit card to take the money out, they do it every 4 days ish.

They paid me twice this month, then corrected it themselves a few days later; at least that's better than March when they mistakenly decided I didn't qualify for a payment, although quickly paid out when I complained.

I see their website now says the changes take effect from 1st August not 1st June; not sure if they moved the date, or apply it differently for newer accounts, or... anyway I achieved nearly 50 debit card transactions this month, so will find out soon!

They're cutting rewards again from 1 July 2021. The monthly benefit for qualifying is going down from £2.00 to £1.00 and the debit card cashback slashed from 5p to 2p per transaction. This makes the reduced maximum pay-out an unusual number £2.20 and presumably not many customers still likely to be incentivised by such a small amount!
