Barclays switch offer — am I eligible if I had a joint account 15 years ago?
Hi everyone, I used to have a joint account with Barclays about 15 years ago, but haven’t banked with them since. I’m now thinking of opening a new account and doing a switch to get the cashback offer. Does anyone know if I’d still be eligible, or if having had a joint account in the past would disqualify me? Has anyone…

Long story short my daughter needs to provide a statement to prove her wages have gone into her account today - needs to show her name and address so mobile app only shows previous statements without the transaction she needs on it - the nearest branch is miles away - are we missing the ability to do this with online…

Have Completed All Possible Bank Switches.What Next???
Since Dec 2024, I have been bank switching in both my name and my wife's name. It's been pretty lucrative and as a result, have earned well over £2000 in total. Have done all banks possible I believe (First Direct, Nationwide, Nat West, TSB, CoOp, Barclays and Lloyds).. NB: Couldn't do Santander as already had an account.…

How do you upgrade your Santander account?
Their chat service is having a laugh with the time it takes them to respond. Plus I've found them totally unhelpful recently anyway. A wall listens better. I'm going to try out their Edge current account to see how much I come out with properly but want to upgrade my everyday account rather than open a new one. So how do I…

Bank can’t find refund
I’m stuck! Our bank account was plundered by PayPal at the end of August, using an automatic payment that was not authorised. The bank saw it was fraud and gave us the first £7000 back, then PayPal refunded the other £3500, but the final £87.90 has still not been refunded (this was the initial purchase that the fraudsters…

Barclay Premier Current Account £400 switch
I think a similar question was asked but thought I should seek clarity before asking. The account says for earners over £75k only, but the switching criteria says to be able to pay £4k in each month. I can move money around to do this, and only play on getting the account for the switch bonus, but I know when applying for…

Anyone got experience with premium back account travel insurance and pre-existing conditions?
Hi, My wife and I both have some pre existing medical conditions that mean any travel insurance quotes we get are regularly doubled. I read on the Which? guide for packaged back accounts that in some cases it may be cheaper to go down this route. Does anyone have any experience of using the travel insurance included in…

Has anyone tried applying for an ODE cashback card recently?
I just tried signing up for an ODE prepaid cashback card via the DiscountsForTeachers website, which describes the card as "completely free" to sign up for. However, at the end of the application process, where it prompts you to preload your new card with cash, it tried to tag on a £4.99 "delivery and fulfillment fee".…

Open Business account
Hello All, i need to open a business account in the UK for my company registered at Companies House, but many banks declined with below "excuse": “As the company will be a
branch of a company that isn't based in UK (in France), it still won't be approved as the
main company isn't UK based.” When clicking on your Companies…

Halifax rewards acc (& other offers coming to an end) - close the account or not?
Just curious whether you guys shut down your accounts when these offers come to an end (Halifax Rewards soon, Santander Lite Cashback recently) or whether you leave your accounts open & if so why? I like the tidiness of only having open what's needed, so on that note I want to close them down. BUT I leave them open with £1…

Barclays Premier Eligibility
Does anyone know if cycling £3330 per month through the Premier current account counts towards meeting the £75k income threshold? I currently have the Premier account (met the criteria on the investments/savings threshold) but have just received a "We're reviewing your eligibility" email. I had transferred out my…

A bit of context: I signed up for a gym.

Foreign currency cheques...
To-date I've been paid by a company I work for in the US by cheque which arrives in the post. This is how they operate. They pay all their contractors this way and won't budge. I have to take the cheque to an actual branch of Barclays, which are few and far between these days so it's quite a long drive for me. The last…

Switching to accounts where you've already received a bonus, or have savings account with them?
I don't usually repeat switch offers to banks I've already had a switch payment from, but more recently I prefer some of the requirements from banks that I've switched to before. Last year I switched to Lloyds, and opened a savings account with them which is in use. I recently switched out my Lloyds to FD and got the bonus…

Nationwide Fairer Share
Please be kind, a new medical issue means N/W FlexPlus Aviva insurance won't cover me for ANY declarations that haven't been a problem before. So pointless renewing on 1 Oct. Trying to find insurance cover has me too stressed to properly get my head round the Fairer Share for 2025......... I'll downgrade our Plus a/c to a…
