    I've just telephoned the free number for account openings to ask if the rate is increasing to 6% in Sept. She said that they havent heard anything about this, and as they are the ''account openings'' dept. at head office then she would have heard :confused:

    Obviously didnt say anything about this site or your posting Omar, dont worry! Just told her id heard it from ''a friend of a friend''!! Just not sure now whether they are covering their own back because they dont want people to know yet, or if it isnt actually happening? Does anybody have any more firm news about this, as i could do with opening an account ASAP but will hold off if i can get a higher rate next month? ;)

    Your Premier Direct interest rate is...

    Doh! Need to go back to the small print again! :o

    Thanks, useful. Still, I suppose it can't go down either!
  • I haven't applied for an A and L account yet, but have any of you actually got your quidco and referral money? I thought I read somewhere on here yesterday that A and Lwould not be paying out referral money when applied for through a cashback site?

    I closed my premier direct account with them in May (intending to reapply in September after the 'three months' mentioned in their terms and conditions had elapsed and I requalified as a 'new' customer.)
    Where did you pick this information up?

    I posted some information on the A&L referral thread regarding the qualifying routes for applications.

    A&L are going to close my account in September as retaliation for successfully claiming past charges back. :T

    I was wondering if it is worth trying to reapply and get the incentives again once the account is closed? :D

    Are they going to keep a sort of black list or something? If they don't I may be re-accepted as my credit file is clean.

    Thanks for any inputs

    Can you have more than one current account in your name? (ie. open another and bag the monthly saver on the way)

    Otherwise do you have to close it for 3 months?
    If so, will just get my wife to open one, bribing her with the £50 and then run it myself.;)

    I'm looking forward to opening an account at the end of September! Hope all these deals will still be available by then.

    As far as I'm aware, you can only open the regular saver at the same time as the premier direct account.
