    Upgraded to HSBC Plus yesterday. Went via Quidco, but it hasn't tracked, so I'm guessing it's only for new customers and not upgrades.

    Changed my bank details with work today and told the manager, so it'll be updated for next payday. Just need to transfer all of the direct debits to HSBC now.

    Lloyds and Barclays I'm going to keep open and just run a few £100 through them each month.

    Waiting for my Advance Account to show as HSBC Plus, then I can order a nice black plus debit card and get text banking setup.

    So your moving back to HSBC then are you?? :rotfl:

    Why? :rolleyes: :p
