OK next question, is it ok to open a current account with nationwide just to get the use of the card. Don't they want you to pay your salary in monthly and all that to give you the account. Never had more than one current account beforeA shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.

Yes, you can open a Nationwide current account just to get the card (they will do a credit reference search though, just mentioning in in case you are concerned about another search)
No, you don't have to pay your salary into this current account
No sweat having more than one current account - other than keeping a record on where you have what money. I use a combination of Egg Money Manager and Microsoft Money for this, but a spreadsheet or just some manual records may be good enough.0 -
