I am such a nong! Didn't set up a reminder to chuck a cursory amount to grow my savings balance for two whole months and missed out on like $400 of the bonus interest which is why I signed up for this account in the first place ๐ญ I could've really used that! Talk about stupid tax...
...oh well, can't turn back time, have put in a reminder now; I'll get this month's at least. After that, one time chunk coming out to buffer me for the rest of this year, and every month after I'll be trying to get as much interest as I can out of the remainder.
Can you set automatic payments?
I don't know why I didn't before, because all my bills etc are automated, but I've put in a reminder atm instead of an auto payment because while bills need to come out on a set day and are stuck in a separate account, I kinda want to make use of the flexibility with the bonus interest transfer since sometimes I've juggled things around a bit and don't want the transfer accidentally coming out of the wrong account... okay it isn't a really good excuse. I'll just chuck in an auto payment but ALSO a reminder a day before so that I don't accidentally go into overdraft
