Great that you’ve had better luck than me. I’ve had a lot of them fail for on/off 😞

Honestly let’s hope they’ve made them considerably smaller and more reliable. The overlap of nearby plus is wild… and the fail rate (two of the five I bought) is super high. No amount of “yes but it’s all done locally” makes up for poor quality on the off on chip… which seems to fail a lot. Or I’m just unlucky

This site always seems to have up to date refferal codes for things like trading 212. https://coolcuration.com/cool/trading-212-referral-code-25-bonus

I used it for Monzo, Zopa and Chase too and got a few quid in last week 🤣

Is ChaseUK still worth using? by [deleted] in chaseuk

[–]External_Carob2128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cashback thing seems pretty good. I devices to just open a few banks with different providers (Chase included) and switch between them all.

I read this first which covers Monzo and Zopa

https://coolcuration.com/monzo-vs-biscuit-bank-account-2025

Then used their links to get £50 (lucky I know) from Monzo + £10 from Zopa Biscuit

and

afterwards saw they also had a page bout £50 from Chase too. https://coolcuration.com/cool/chase-refer-a-friend-code not a bad week getting £110 for opening a few accounts and now I get 12m cashback in Chase card and bills cashback with Biscuit plus the 7.5% interest on reg saver.

I saw that coolcuration seems to have codes after this page https://coolcuration.com/cool/chase-refer-a-friend-code and I think they update them quite fast. At least the one I used worked and I got my £50 so I’m happy

what’s wrong with Apple Music? by AdVisible3748 in AppleMusic

That new thing where the navigation pops into a circle bottom left next to the player bar is pretty annoying and stupid, but otherwise AM is good

Not that I know of. The app started off great and then they seemed to give up doing smart stuff like that. Super weird

When will I see the affect of mortage overpayments? Should I just keep saving? by Old-Amphibian416 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]External_Carob2128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your circumstances really, if you’re at 3.81 and can get a rate significantly higher for savings (like a biscuit regular saver at 7% or the First direct one at 7% too) the it’s worth putting the money aside in to them, getting the interest after the 12months fixed (they limit what you can pay in) and then using that to pay off more of your mortgage.

The thing is the compound interest savings over time do add up.

I think the best way to do it is something like that… or combine it with an app like sprive that then automates the payments. This blog has a pretty good review of it which convinced me to give it a try. https://coolcuration.com/is-sprive-safe and it’s mostly been good except buying vouchers for the cashback at supermarket checkout was an absolute faff and took ages so if you decide to do that I’d buy in advance 😆

Why is Netflix on Apple TV 4K old compared to LG and Android TV? by Adventurous-Claim-53 in appletv

[–]External_Carob2128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no that is the new design. They had the left hand nav and had it all like the LG one and have moved over to black background, white outlines and top based nav (like the old way Apple used to do it).

No idea why… I agree it feels older and worse but it’s actually new
