Nationwide FlexPlus - medical & breakdown Q's

Options
Hi there,
Time to spring clean our accounts for Easter!

Anyone know if you can easily (cheaply!?) extend the FlexPlus cover to a third vehicle (for joint account) ? (I know I can call them later to check, so not urgent)

Second - Travel Insurance: I have a repeat prescription for "regular" (!) high blood pressure.......their online application tells me I cannot get the travel insurance without checking with the insurance company, after opening the account.
I have it fine with our current Santander account (which we plan to move to 1-2-3, hence lose the insurance!) - anyone know if that is a straightforward thing to get sorted with them ?

thx
Plan for tomorrow, enjoy today!

    <update!> - called their helpline for the breakdown question - was told we would be covered anyway due to a "personal cover" which means whatever car you're in is covered :-)

    (so have applied for the account anyway, although if they give any grief over blood pressure insurance cover, may cancel !!!)

    Give them a ring, I called them about my existing condition before opening the account and they told me it was fine, and there was no excess to pay.

    Just keep that current account, you don't need to close it just because you want a 123. You can have both.

    Yes, we could.....although the FlexPlus is better for us (euro breakdown plus mobile phone cover)......plus we can convert the Santander rewards to 1-2-3 over the phone.....

    Cheers!
