Don't forget anyone who had a pre-arranged overdraft on this account (min £200) has in effect, already got their £200 bonus, since January, aslong as your £200 incentive is due before 4th April (:

Exactly right. I used my 3 month interest-free overdraft in January - intending that when paid, the bonus will just zero the balance.

Do we get charged £20 to setup/renew the overdraught?

The Co-operative bank has confirmed:

That payments will start to be issued week commencing the 20th of FEB!

So have any started coming in yet?

Has anyone else been with Alliance and Leicester Bank when they were taken over by Santander(about a year ago I think?)? I seem to recall that they "promised" that the current account I used would stay the same, overdraft, fees etc. I did notice a while ago that they stopped paying the minute amount of interest on a credit balance in the account, but I wasn't that bothered as it didn't amount to much. If I had any extra money I put it in a separate account.
But what I'm upset and outraged at is that at the weekend I received a letter saying that from March 16th, they were changing the overdraft charges considerably. From when I opened this account(2006)I have had an arranged £1750 overdraft(sometimes use a little of this)and that is charged at 50p a day, up to a maximum of 10 days, which totals £5 I was quite happy with that as I felt it was reasonable and fair. They are changing this to £1 a day, capped at 20 days in a month, so that could be £20-quite a whopping increase?!! What does anyone else think?:mad:

Hi, you will get a better response if you post on a thread about A&L, not one about the CooP.

Using "Forum Search" at the top of the page; enter in "Alliance and Leicester takeover" and that will give you some threads to both read and post in.

HTH.
