Hi all,
I opened one of these lately, unfortunately I got the old rate of 5% before they increased it, and it's fixed at what it is when you do the application
They also give you a linked saving account of 12% interest (it was 10% when I applied), but they only let you transfer max £250 a month into this. I messed this up as finanacially I could only afford £25 a month, then things changed and I wanted to increase this amount but they refuse to let you change the amount you put in when you applied!
Other than that and all the million bits of paper I had to fill in to get the thing open, I liked the account. I transferred to get the 0% overdraft for a year cos my current bank just started charging me for my overdraft (+ gave next to no interest at all when I was in credit).
If anyone has just opened one or intends to please PM me as I have some coupons that will get us each £50 (if I send it within 8 weeks of a non A&L custmer opening one of these accounts and the new account is credited with at least £500 at some point within the first 8 weeks).
