A&L Regular Saver & Current Acct

Went through most of the process of opening an A&L Current Acct in order to be able to open the 10% Regular Saver too. However, it was asking for details of any current account I already have. As I don't actually want to transfer current accounts, could somebody let me know what happens. If a fill in current acct details, will they automatically arrange a transfer or do they specifically ask if I wish to transfer?

Thanks.

    There's no requirement to switch accounts over to them.

    When you get your welcome back, there's a form to complete *if* you want to switch.

    PS: I assume you are aware that you can be referred and make £50 for opening the account?

    I am an existing A&L Premier A/c customer. I've just upgraded to their Premier Direct current A/c without any hassle. I am not eligible for the 10% regular saver, but if my husband opens a current a/c with them by paying in £500/month by standing order/DD from anywhere else, he will be able to transfer £250 pounds of that to their reg saver a/c and send the other £250 anywhere else.

    Sounds good

    Don't forget to recommend your husband. You will get 2x£50 - more than extra interest with Regular Saver ...

    Thanks grumbler, I'd been wondering if we'd be eligible for that. Is there a closing date for this 10% regular saver with A&L?

    There is no anything to wonder about. Just print recommend a friend voucher (pdf**), fill it in and sent to A&L (I prefer using Recorded mail to make sure that the post is not lost).

    I've just saved the A&L referral form.

    How do you lot know so much about everything? It's seriously impressive (and a bit scary) :eek:

    Can you help me to put those "blue underlined" bits into posts and work out how to thank people properly?

    Unofficial A-Z (Look here first) > Links (Inserting in posts)
    With Enhanced Interface you are able just to highlight, copy and paste links and pictures from other sites (and from this site) - this is really simple.
    and work out how to thank people properly?
    I don't know what 'properly' means, but the simplest way is just to click post_thanks.gif button under the post you want to thank for.
