    Hit Barclays with an application never had a problem there.

    Fee free and you can personlise your own debit card if your into that.

    Halifax's Reward account, just have a transfer of £1000 paid in each month to get £5 cash back. You can always move the monies back the following day.

    It would do everything else you want also. Only steer away if you need to use overdraft I would say.
