  • Did I read in a post somewhere that you can open an account just before going BR, as long as you leave it empty?

    Yes, you can do that, you should get to keep it if it's Co-op.

  • I applied for a Barclays Cash Account on 24 October and haven't heard anything from them, so I decided to ring them up. Barclays said that they had a 3 week backlog of applications and my application had not been looked at yet. I already have a Co-op Cashminder account, so not that fussed. However, if anyone is thinking of opening a Barclays account, it may be better to apply to Co-op as well. The Co-op have been very good and the application process was quite easy. I paid cash (housekeeping money) into my Cashminder account yesterday through the post office and it showed up on my account straight away, which I was very pleased with.
