    Why?
    Just out of interest, and comparison with my own (2 on my main account, and 5 on the other 3 accounts), following the discussion started in post #374.

    18 long threads worrying about a £1.25 a week or am I clearly missing the point here.

    Quite possibly!

    I've made over £1,000 so far from my 4 Reward accounts (for 2-3 minutes 'work' each month), and stand to lose £180 a year going forward if they close 3 of them.

    Worthy of a little discussion I think?

    But one of the reasons these threads run so long is that people don't read a little before jumping in with a question or seeking clarification. Someone recently asked a question that was answered in the OP, and verified by the actual notice of variation linked to in post #3.

    Suppose you have a point if you've gained a grand out of it.

    Just setup a DD with the National Lottery for £4/£5 month (depending on number of weeks in a month). I normally play the lottery when I remember, so Halifax are just playing it for me now and I don't have to think about it.

    Then £2/month to a Tesco savings account. Should do I think. Considering the number of DDs on that savings account now, it'll pay for my Christmas shopping next year! and 2.6% as well. Bonus.

    Nope, you're not missing the point.

    Care to send me 1.25 a week?

    I wouldn't do it personally, and especially not after 1/5/13.Just out of interest noh, what 'reference' have they put on the notice of variation letters for these accounts?...RCACust5 or RCACust6?That's what I've done, and mine start next month.

    RCACust5 on all three of them which I assume is the letter to sole account holders that don't have existing DDs set up on their accounts.

    Or would you prefer me to send you a loaf of bread a week which is more expensive.
