Beat me to it.
I can’t say I’ve ever had any benefit from Boosts, but we’ll see what happens with this.
I hope it’s more useful to me than Monzo cashback.

I’ve had quite a bit from it, almost all from the draws they often do every week. Definitely had more back from it than other banks schemes.

Maybe I should have paid more attention to it (I’ve never noticed the draws).
I’m not a “brand” buyer especially, and I wouldn’t consider using any particular brand just because I’d get a few % cash back to be honest.
I’ll make a note to check Boosts a little more diligently in future, though.
Cahoot have a 25th birthday prize draw with a £25,000 prize:
“You’re automatically entered if you hold a minimum combined balance of £2,500 across your cahoot accounts on 30 November and/or 31 December 2025. Fixed Rate Bonds aren’t eligible.”

I do wonder why they’ve kept cahoot around

They have some pretty good instant access accounts compared to main Santander!
One would wonder why they’d keep Cater Allen too..

Similar to Smile and the Co-Operative. At one point you had the online Smile and branch based Co-Op but now they basically do the same, even the app is the same with a different skin. Although the range of products isn’t as good as the main co-op
Sadly Cahoot doesn’t even have an app 
Kind of. You can use the Santander app if you log in with your Cahoot credentials (but then you wouldn’t be able to use your Santander account/credit card if you had any).
Cater Allen is the one that has no app and happily lives in the 1800’s.
Cater Allen is so stuck in the past - it must cost Santander a fortune to maintain such legacy systems.

Don’t know if this has been mentioned but I’ve been getting instant notifications from Santander last few days and they have updated the app to show only your available balance now, I like it

Instant notifications when you spend?
Edit: just sent money to it and didn’t get any notification.
Shame the cards are so ugly as the app is actually not that bad, albeit no dark mode.

I wish Santander International had notifications.
Actually I wish Santander International had lots of things. Doesn’t even have a up to date balance. Takes 24 hours to update.
Yes, everything I have spent on the card, I’ve had a notification on my spend. I’m on iOS
Using the physical card or via your phone?
Not the Apple Pay notification?
The Santander app notification?
Just spent on the card, no notification.
I’m guessing it’s Apple wallet.

I use Apple Pay but the notification comes from Santander.
