A& L Premier Direct retention query

neilp

Hi, I'm coming to the end the first year (with high interest rate) of my A&L Premier Direct account. I saw a couple of messages on here a while back saying that A&L were prepared to extend the high rate for another year through their customer retentions department. Has anyone done this recently? Is it still possible? Alternatively, does anyone know whether it is possible to change a Premier Direct account to a Premier (ideally with the 12% regular saver, though I realise this may be pushing my luck)? Given that interest rates are falling, free travel insurance may be a better option than the slighly higher rate (particularly if it were possible to change back in the future).

Any thoughts appreciated!

Well personally I have just signed up for the Premier Direct current account and waiting for all my stuff to come through.

I don't think there is any harm in trying they can only say no:)
