    Hi,

    I posted earlier in the thread asking apart from Tesco Bank which other savings account could do multiple DD's.

    I opened a "Yorkshire Building Society Internet Saver" as I was sure I'd seen it mentioned here. Anyway it looks as though it doesn't do DD's as there is no option when I log in. I had the same problem with the Nationwide MySave Plus account.

    Could anyone please tell me a savings account/provider apart from Tesco Bank which can do multiple DD's i.e. three DD's?

    Thanks in advance!

    I just happened to already have a Santander esaver which permitted multiple DD's and then opened a Tesco Internet Saver for the others.

    How did you get them added to the e-saver? On mine there doesn't seem to be an option to set it up on-line or am I missing the menu option?

    You need to print off their Direct Debit form, then post it to them, together with a recent statement of your Halifax Reward account. It's a long time since I did this - I seem to remember I sent them a screenshot of my account since I don't get paper statements.

    Now curious to know what sparked their computer off to issue that last one! :)"

    All of my a/c's have the required 2 different DD's set up but wonder if my original & actual main current a/c with them is causing the problem?

    Do you have 4 a/c's Doc N?

    The DD thing has really got me wound up. NOTHING gets paid out from the account my salary goes into .. I have an account for money in and an account for money out; so that I have full control over money out of my main ac, to stop corporate !!!!-ups from clearing me out (again, thanks npower! )

    Both are with Halifax, currently one of the 2 gives me a £5 reward, now I'll get nothing, even though I do pretty much all of my banking with them. I guess I'll just have to roll over and take it like a good little citizen ....

    So, open an eSaver account with Santander and a Tesco Bank account and set direct debits to each of them for £1 from your HBOS Reward account. What's wrong with that?

    You should still be able to get the Reward on the 'money out' account, as that will presumably have at least two DDs on it.

    If the total value of your DDs is less than £750 per month, then just transfer the required amount from your 'money in' account and straight back - it'll only take a couple of seconds per month.

    Can some please help and clear this up for me please
    between me and the wife we have 5 reward accounts

    2 mine
    2 hers
    1 joint

    Can I open this account: http://www.tescobank.com/savings/savingsaccounts/internetsaver/index.html
    and setup x3 different DD from my 3 reward accounts to pay into the single savings account?
    And can my wife do the same for her reward accounts if she opens a tesco saver aswell?

    Also which other savings account lets u setup more than 1 DD to it? (i'm seeing santander e-saver mentioned alot) does this allow it?

    Thanks

    Yes, as has been confirmed [STRIKE]several[/STRIKE] dozens of times already in this thread. My Tesco Internet Saver has 7 DDs set up on it, and my Tesco Instant Access Savings Account has 3 DDs set up on it.

    It seems to do, but appears to be long-winded according to some posts on here. If you have an old Egg Savings account with YBS that's a lot easier.
