No, I don't use it.

Same as me then. I just put £2 in it today, and will leave it like that. I phoned them to order a PIN Sentry, as it wouldn't let me log on to internet banking, as I had registered years ago when I had a kids account with Barclays.

I phoned them and they wanted £6 for a pinsentry. I told them if they don't order me one for free, now, I shall be demanding a manager call me back. He then confirmed my address and said it'll be there in a 3 days.... I can logon to internet banking now, but not make any transfers etc.

Why do you have premier life... it's expensive...

It's £17.50 if you qualify, if you don't it's a draw-dropping :eek: £25 pcm.

A similar price to Lloyds Premier account.

£6 what a rip off. They sent mine without me requesting it.

Their online banking is very good.

I dowt it. That's the account I want.

Do what I did. Open a standard bank account and then upgrade online. Takes 5 minutes and I'm pretty sure the credit scoring for a current account/advance is much lower then the plus score.

That's weird, neither me or my OH were charged for a PIN Sentry, we were just sent one. Not sure why they'd try and charge you for something just to be able to bank online

Apparently, as I was sent one when I had a kids account a year or so ago closed, I was meant to keep that device in case I ever got another account with Barclays. I told india that's ridiculous. Got a free one in the end though.
