    Is it actually possible to open three Vantage accounts online in your own name or does the website just say "Oi mate, you've just applied for one...get lost"?

    TIA

    PS Sorry for the awkward questions, I think it is a result of my recent swine flu (yes, the real thing, and not very pleasant either!)

    Okay clever folks.....if you have 7k in Vantage Acc1 + 6K in V2 +6K in V3 and do the monthly 1K shuffle.............at 4%pa what will you end up with gross after 12 months???????

    TIA

    Tooooooooooooo much effort - but £7k in each gives about £20 per month/account net - which I then move into an Egg account paying 3.5% :D

    I went to open an online Vantage account and NOW look what we've all done:

    This application is currently unavailable

    We're currently experiencing some problems and are unable to continue with your application. Please try again later.

    What's the problem? If you already have three Classic accounts, just ring the freephone number and ask for them to be upgraded to Vantage.

    Misread one of your earlier posts - there's still no problem, you still have the option to open via the freephone number which I quoted.

    Yet more questions! When you have the three Vantage accounts are they all managed from one online login...like ING?

    TIA

    All of your LTSB accounts are accessed from a single login, just like any other major internet banking system - you seem to be thinking of them as savings accounts, which they are not.

    Anyone know whether you can open two LLoyds Classic accounts online on the same day? Will it treat the second as duplication?

    Just been into Halifax to ope two more Reward accounts ...........
