21steve Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Anyone else recieved a letter inviting them to open a Saving Gateway account? The government are trailing it in 6 regions and south yorkshire is one of them. You can save up to £25 a month for 16 months, and for every £2 you save the government will give you £1. so if you pay in the meximum for 16 months on the 18th month (the account matures) you get an extra £200 and are free to do with your £600 what you like. the only downside is that other regions have it better, Manchester get £1 for every £1 they save and Cambridgeshire can save up to £125 a month! its invite only though! http://www.direct.gov.uk/savinggateway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I had this stuff through yesterday. The best thing the Treasury could do for me right now is stop charging me GBP80 a week 'Employers National Insurance' as well as my 'Employee's National Insurance'. I work as a contractor through an umbrella company and so pay double NI for the privelege. I also earn more than 25k, thouhh the household income is under 50k. If I want a savings account I'll go to the bank. I can see the idea behind it all but any money I might want to save is whipped off me by the Treasury anyway!! I wish HMG would stop trying to mother us. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Macbeth Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Unfortunately this offer is really out of date and the link is defunct, so I'll close this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
