I earn enough to get it for 17.50 as I am under 35. This reserve thing sounds like a red herring, why do they even offer it, why not just give a £150 od surely the risks are the same. I guess they want to make that 22 a week they charge! what a debacle!

I got a personal reserve too, on a normal account. I didn't even know there was such thing, and the staff add it on without me knowing, until he showed me after opening the account.

I didn't argue back, and just took it. I doubt I would use it.

I think it's just an extra sales target?

Is there a way of swapping the reserve for an od?

The reserve is separate and additional to an OD

I wonder how people use the Premier counter at the branch, if they have that account, without the black card, due to them not being 'eligible' for it!

well where I live they have a premier centre which is never manned and no coffee or anything. and yes that is a good point, does the blue card say premier on it?

When you mean premier centre, do you mean a seperate branch for premier customers only? Or is it a seperate section within the branch? Where do you live that has the premier centre?

I don't think the blue card will say 'Premier' on it.

I just hope everyone who applies for the Premier Account can get the black card!

In our area, there's rarely people queueing in the premier/business tills. There must be a lot of premier customers in your area!

It is a separate area within the branch, they are called premier centres I guess most main city branches have them. They are places you can go and watch the news, get newspapers, coffee, photocopier/fax etc etc

Ok. Sounds good.

I assume there's no need to show the card to go to that area.
