How to avoid Norwich & Peterborough Gold light low usage fee?

Do online payment to/from other accounts count?

I.e if I pay say 50 pounds 5 times to/from my N and P account to my Lloyds account? Using internet banking rather than a standing order

Also when can I upgrade to Gold Classic?

    5 transactions, including internet transactions. 6 months until upgrade. Although all this information is in the other thread that you commented on...

    That's fine. Clarification is always useful. The Natwest Student Account requires three debit transactions every month, which require a debit card (although they didn't pull me up on it for my first few months in Spain this year - and now I send three payments of £5 to the Aqua Reward). N&P is much better in this regard.

    So your five payments to Luma, as you said on the other thread, would work, but so would internet transactions.

    Somehow its sounds too good to be true - the Classic account with free card insurance and the premium saver- I wonder how they can afford not to charge like the others do- never mind the free overseas usage!!

    Fortunately Lloyds don't seem to have requirement- since I got my CC I haven't used my CC!
