    I thought the recent changes Nationwide made where to try an stop people just using this account for overseas etc

    by that I mean they made it a condition of the account you had to have or use internet savings linked to the Flexaccount

    They did for new accounts, but those of us who had one already weren't kicked out or anything.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    I'm very disappointed about this news, it looks like my holiday to Turkey next week will be my last with my Flex account card in tow :(

    I use my Flex account as my 2nd Uk bank a/c and to use abroad.I have put paid in over 50 thousand over the years to use abroad,which is probably more then most people pay in as a main bank account.So please dont go blaming people like me for this change in policy.
