    Weigh it up. Can you do better elsewhere? If so do it and downgrade.

    It's as simple as that, really. Is it worth £13 to you?

    Obviously if you can get it cheaper in its entirety elsewhere there's no discussion. But you can certainly replicate parts of it for cheaper, so you may come to the realisation that you're paying £6 a month for the travel insurance, say. Is that worth it to you based on your lifestyle?

    Only you can answer the question of whether you're prepared to pay x amount to receive y product or service.

    What cover do you need?

    Column A = £156 pa for the bank account.

    Column B = what you would pay for the cover you need privately.

    e.g. Breakdown £66 + Travel insurance £50 + Phone cover £100 = £212.

    If my figures are right, stick with the bank. If you feel you don't need the phone cover, buy the other two things privately.

    If you value the gadget cover and cheaper overdraft, work out how much you would pay without this account.

    It's not rocket science.
