    It will still let you apply for a forth online, whether it will get accepted is another matter.

    The '3 per customer' restriction is stipulated in both the 'Vantage' and 'Vantage 4%' T&Cs here...

    Yes I can see the 3 per customer limit on adding Vantage to your accounts, but I can't see where it shows a limit on the 4% section?

    There are only two sets of T&Cs on that page. Everything below this...

    Vantage terms and conditions – for customers with the limited up to 4% AER offer from 10 September 2012 – 31 October 2013

    ...relates to the 4% offer.

    The wording "You can have a maximum of 3 accounts with Vantage" appears 1/3 the way down that section (as well as appearing in the first section for the standard Vantage T&Cs).

    Ah yes I see that, but, those terms relate to Vantage being added to an account. Once Vantage is already added to in excess of 3 accounts there is nothing there specifically in the 4% bit that says the 4% can't be added to more than three accounts.

    For instance, I have 10 accounts that have Vantage added to them and therefore in the remaining 7 accounts I can earn 3% on balances upto 5k. So whilst the terms may state that only 3 may have Vantage added, there is nowt specific there regarding the 4% rate for those people, like me, who managed to obtain in excess of three accounts.

    I did an online application for another Classic Vantage account and received a 'welcome to your new LloydsTSB Account' email yesterday. It's not showing up online yet - does anyone know of the usual timescales please? I hoped to get it up and running with the first thousand and two DDs before I go away again for work today.

    thanks

    In branch staff usually say "Within 48 hours (excluding weekends and bank holidays)"

    I'd expect by the end of today it'll be visible.

    Thanks - just had a girlie moment this morning! And then realised/remembered that I can do even though I am away. :o

    Probably just need more coffee.

    i'm still undecided whether to attempt to convert the remaining 3 of my 6 to the 4% rate???

    is there anyone out there who has attempted to convert more than 3 (of their 'numerous' accounts) to the 4% rate and got rumbled?
