    They pay you £25 to have a review. £50 if you take out an insurance product with them, eg life insurance.

    Go into any branch and ask for details or pick up the leaflet. Or else just go and ask to book up an appointment. ;)

    Edit: haven't done it but every week i pay OH's cheques in they ask me if I'm interested.

    There's been some discussion about this on the savings and investment board. I don't think they're paying for just listening to their rant anymore, it's certain products that you have to be interested in or actually sign up for to get the money.

    Sorry, I don't remember the details but have a look at that board before you waste your time going in!

    Well beware of A&L's bank charges. They charge £25 for refusing a DD due to insufficient funds. Then they take that money before you even get a letter from them and that pushes you into an unauthorised overdraft for which they charge you £35.

    Oh, their leaflets say it's £25 for just having a review and that was what I was offered by the cashier. The £50 is additional if you purchase life insurance from them as a result. :o

    Haven't booked it up though, so would ask people who have tried.

    Yes but the savings and investments board people are saying they've been and have been told it's a review of a certain type, not just any old review anymore. Sorry, don't have time to search for the actual thread, but have a look on that board.
