Fair point. :+1:

I might’ve missed this question but is there anywhere in my new bills pot to show the total of the direct debits/SOs I have connected to the pot?

For example: ā€œBased on last months total you need Ā£500 in this pot to cover your billsā€ but worded much better coz I am super tired and frazzled :tired_face:

Not yet, no. But it has been highlighted as a crucial indicator.

Get some rest :zzz:

I believe when you scroll down in Summary all of the Direct Debits and SO’s paid that month are together under Commited Spending and it gives you a total. Not exactly what you were asking but it’s a quick way to workout how much money you’d need in the Bills pot

Aces thank you. I am watching The Detectorists from the safety of my onesie so that helps :smiley:

I chickened out and moved the money back into my main account & switched to pay from there instead of the bill pot… I’ll have to wait till I have enough in my main account to fall back on to test it.

:chicken:

nothing personal - always wanted to use that one for some reason

So we’ve got bills pots, salary sorter, an apology from the Plus team (and another Plus reboot) - but where’s the blog post from Tom about something big?

Woop woop!

Just for interest, I just made payment to someone who I also have a scheduled payment to going out of my bill pot. Monzo used my main account money, not my bill pot money. So the message saying ā€œevery transactionā€ definitely could be worded more clearly. But positive that it works this way as the other way would be very annoying!!

woops wrong thread

while I’m here though, +1 for recurring card payments from pots (i know they’re on the way :crossed_fingers:)

I’m so happy this has become a feature! Excited to put it to use!! :+1:

Quick question: Is anyone else struggling to set up their Spotify payments to come straight from a pot?

I don’t know whether it’s because my monthly payment is listed as a subscription, rather than a bill, but I can’t seem to link it to a pot :cry:

Does anyone have any tips? Thank you!!

Any update on this?

50% of my recurring payments are subscriptions/card payments.

Currently needing to leave money in my main or rely on my overdraft to catch it.

As far as I know, this is something to be looked at ā€˜in the future’ so I’m not expecting anything in the short term.

Unfortunately, although the ā€˜bills’ pot is a good idea, with recurring subscriptions and card payments staying in the main account, it’s not something I would use yet. I need all my committed spending in the same place.
