Nationwide online banking fault

I have a Nationwide online account with a flex account.

I don't keep much in the Flex A/C but transfer money into it online as and when I need it, for the last two weeks there has been an intermittent fault with Nationwide online banking,this means I have to keep trying most of the day to get into it, if and when I do it is so overloaded and slow it takes ages.

I want to use my flex card on holiday but if I can't get into it online to transfer money to take away then it will be a huge problem.

Are there any other commission free debit cards besides Flex as I am seriously thinking of pulling out of Nationwide, they used to be good and very reliable.

    Cant you just call them up and transfer the money over the phone ? I know its not nearly as convienient but has to be easier than opening new accounts ?

    I have just tried and it's the same now.

    I don't think I could do it over the phone, that's if I ever got to speak to an actual person

    It could be your connection, I also use it almost daily and never have an issue with connection, I have just logged on with no problems at all ?

    If you want to transfer money in to the account from an external source then you have to do it from the external source website, not the nationwide one so it shouldnt matter if the Nationwide site is down.

    It has been playing up for me over the past few days but is working ok now.

    I have just got into it and can view my Flex Statement but not my Visa Statement, they must be fixing it for now.

    I am transferring it from Nationwide e-savings into my Nationwide Flex A/C and it can only be done on the Nationwide website AFAIK.
