Barclays Premier
I set up a Barclays Premier account in November, largely because of their £400 switch offer. I've not actually been using the account, other than to put an amount in and take it out almost immediately, and have no plans to use it significantly.

Anyone else seen this recently?Just noticed an NYX Tesco payment of £1.00 twice when I shopped and filled up with fuel at the superstore and garage four days ago but not when I shopped at the Tesco Express near home.
