I am well into Savings Loophole activity as well as a little stoozing. I was prepared for the task of managing my accounts online, what I hadn't prepared myself for was the sheer volume of mail generated.
I used to receive a few items of mail per month but I'm receiving at least something every day.
I had 9 items just today, one from Nationwide, three from Tesco and FIVE from First Direct. The postman must wonder what's going on.

I know it will die down with mostly online banking.
It's Tesco with two current accounts, two savings and one credit card along with DD with a current account and two savers which has generated most correspondence. I obviously expected the cards, PINS etc but didn't necessarilyexpect a separate welcome pack for each product.
FD sent three separate letters re an arrangement with the US tax authorities to check I was registered in the UK for tax purposes. Haven't had similar from other institutions.
FDs First Account welcome pack was also ridiculously oversized and got returned to the sorting office.0 -

Then you need to change your marketing preferences with Halifax:cool:0 -
It's Tesco's need to send each direct debit instruction confirmation individually that gets me. We got 12 in one day when I set up the DDs for our BOS accounts!
Almost makes me feel guilty for "using" them...just almost!
I'm not sure you can opt out of that, as I'm already paperless for those accounts.0 -
Start thinking a bit further on.
Fund and investment trust annual reports are usually A4 size.0 -

I'm paperless and I never get anything through the post. In fact sometimes I think they've forgotten about me. Tesco Bank did though when I opened an account but I dumped them and I never get anything now Oh and Amex sent me an airmail letter from the U.S. of A. telling me about the £10 reward if I recommend someone for their credit card. Stingy eh!0

If it keeps them in a job it probably is!Start thinking a bit further on.

Sadly they're ones I look forward to receiving!Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0
