Pension transfer failed - what next?

I transferred some of my old pensions to a new provider in specie. They said it was completed but they failed to transfer one of them.

According to my current provider, the previous pension company marked the transfer as complete which led my current provider to think it was done. Once they checked when I contacted them, they said it was not settled and therefore not reregistered to my account. My previous pension provider also confirmed to me that they sent the pension to my new provider and it was complete.

Not entirely sure what they mean with the settled and re-register bit.

I raised a complaint with my current provider and they emailed me (I think a generic complaint email) how I want the complaint resolved. What would be a fair monetary amount to ask for?

I'm also thinking about raising a complaint with my previous provider but I'm not sure how best to approach it.

Quidco dropped their referral to £2.50 for both referrer and referee

As title says, Quidco (at least on my page) now only gives £2.50 to the referrer and referee. This is a drop from £10 that it was before.

The writing was on the wall when they dropped it from £20 to £10 and when they did that short stint when it was dropped to £2.50 that one time.

Maybe they'll increase back up again but for now, it's £2.50.

Edit: Nevermind, it changed back again to £10. I think it was just a temporary thing.

Sprive - Reduce your mortgage with gift card purchases

Sprive is a free app that offers money back from gift card purchases that pays towards your mortgage. They also help you set money aside by letting you do a one off top up or setting up an auto save direct debit payment that can be paid towards your mortgage. This can be fixed, variable or turned off if you don't want it. They also host various mortgage offers on their app if you're interested in seeing what you might want to remortgage to.

By using my referral, you and I will get Sprive Plus. This gives access to more retailers towards your mortgage. I will also get £10 and boosted cashback in their weekly prize draw. Once you have your own account, you can refer others and get money and these perks as well.

You can get gift cards for many retailers including Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury, Amazon, Morrisons, Marks & Spencer, Waitrose, Iceland, Ikea, Etsy, Boots and many, many more.

The gift card cashback has very high returns based on your mortgage and spend. The cashback is made up of a fixed percentage and interest you'll save from overpaying your mortgage. I shop at Sainsbury and Tesco so I save a fixed 2.5% cashback plus 5.2% in mortgage interest totalling 7.7% cashback when buying a £10 gift card. If I bought a higher amount like £50, I would earn 10.26% cashback as the higher fixed cashback would pay my mortgage more and save more in mortgage interest payments.

You can choose to hold onto this cashback or send it to your mortgage at any time. Money saved through your auto save direct debit or one off top ups can be withdrawn to your bank anytime.

As of today, the lenders that work with Sprive are:

Nationwide, First Direct, HSBC, Lloyds, Barclays, Santander, RBS, Virgin Money, Halifax, Natwest, Yorkshire Building Society, Coventry Building Society, Accord Mortgages, and TSB Bank

Proof of Sprive paying my mortgage

To get Sprive:

  • Sign up with my referral link

  • If the referral code doesn't show, add in the code: 41HAY2RK

  • Link your bank account through open banking (it doesn't have to be the bank with your mortgage).

  • Connect your mortgage. This will be found through credit reports and you can make any corrections if they're wrong.

  • To unlock autosave, purchase a gift card (minimum £1)

  • Set up your direct debit on autosave (min £25. You can turn it off after you set it up)

Zilch - Free £5 sign up bonus, no spend needed

Zilch is a virtual card that gives instant cashback on all your purchases. By using my referral link, you get £5 that can be used towards your next purchase. No spending required, just create your account and verify your details. They also offer a buy now pay later feature though that option has fees with it so use the free pay now feature instead.

I typically use Zilch to buy bus/coach tickets which give me 2% back. I then stack Zilch with Curve debit card and Uphold (gives 1% cashback) to give me a total 3% cashback. If you prefer not to use Uphold, you can use any debit card. For purchases in store, I add my virtual Zilch card to google pay and spend with that though if you want, you can order a physical card.

Some users have issues connecting with Curve though so another alternative is to use Sumup (0.5% cashback). I have tested payments by Trading212 debit card linked to Zilch but Trading212 debit card doesn't provide cashback through purchases through Zilch unfortunately. Others also had success with PayPal debit card so you may want to try that.

Higher cashback is given when you activate the brand for purchase online or in store on the Zilch app for example Amazon and Morrisons. You can search up your retail to see if they offer the higher cashback. Once you activate it you don't need to purchase it through Zilch, just put in the card details so you can combine them with cashback website like Topcashback or Quidco.

General purchases offer 0.5% cashback so combined with Curve and Uphold gives a minimum 1.5% cashback on all purchases.
