HSBC switch offer
Looking into the HSBC £220 to switch offer. But reading the small print, its actually only £100 up front, and then £10 per month for 12 months but to get it you need to jump through numerous hoops. It reminds me of the mid-noughties phone offers where every 6 months you have to remember to send off for a rebate. Question…

Halifax / Lloyds £1.50 FX Counter Withdrawal Fee
Just seen mention of a £1.50 foreign exchange fee when withdrawing cash on the back of a .pdf statement. I remember these charges a long time ago and as I recall they were levied by Visa - some banks used to absorb the fee and others passed it on. Has it made a comeback?

Logging in to Santander
Ignore this post (or, moderators, delete it). It turns out that Santander has changed the way one logs in, but still sent me instructions for the old way, which is very confusing.
