Santander/A&L switched account- overdraft charges

Hi,
I'm hoping someone might be able to help.
Last year I switched to A&L on their £100 switching bonus offer.
As well as the bonus, the account gave an interest free overdraft for a year.
That year has now ended and I have just reviewed my overdraft charges, convinced they would be £5 (50p a day capped at 10 days). However, its £10 (50p capped at 20days).
I am *convinced* that when I signed up to A&L the overdraft offer was for 10days after the year had passed.
I've checked Santander's o/d charges and they say that the 10days is for the 'preferred account' and the 20days is for the 'everyday account'. Mine is titled the 'premier account'!
I just wondered if anyone else took the same offer and can remember the T&Cs or anything? I've recently moved house and wouldn't know were to BEGIN to find the paper work (although it'll be somewhere!)
Thanks in advance,
Kaz

It was originally 50p for 10 days but is now 20 days. I believe new charges were notified some time last year.
Edit:- looks like it was March this year. Here is a previous post on the subiect
