30+ currents club anyone?

Two accepted applications for the new Tesco current account have pushed me out of the 20+ club into the 30+. Anyone else? It's getting a bit ridiculous now, even for my taste.

Mind you, I'll probably close 3 Lloyds Vantage accounts in July, assuming it's straight-forward to close them. If not, I'll just keep them dormant.

    Nah - complete amateur compared to you. Just into double figures.

    I have had mixed experience with 7 day switching process, but it serves good purpose closing old accounts. 100% cushtie!
  • I'm impressed. I've significantly fewer accounts - it's a nightmare when I'm asked about my accounts (e.g. opening dates) for ID checks!

    I'm not sure if this counts but between myself and the other half we currently have 34 current accounts, 4 ISA's and 6 regular savers.

    When the Lloyds Vantage accounts go south next month the funds will be used to max out the 123 accounts again and then I'll think about opening the new Tesco accounts when some of the regular savers mature towards the end of the year.

    Flummoxed if I know what I'll do when they kill off the TSB Enhanced accounts though.

    We're not quite so ambitious (or maybe just have less in savings!) but between us (that's me and Zanderwoman, my OH) we have, I think, about 18 current accounts, of which only about 10 are high interest 'savings' packages.

    Includes 2 Lloyds Vantage - to be converted either to Lloyds Club or maybe just to these new Tesco accounts soon.

    Other savings incl one FD Regular saver, plus 3 ISAs (the biggest of which is the rather nice Newcastle 5-year fixed 5% - whose 5 years are up next month so decisions will be needed there too).

    I am unworthy :o

    I will probably go for 2 Tescos (every little helps :p) but CBA with the M&S offering.

    Although I could always blow the £100 voucher on wine :rotfl:

    That's where my voucher will go towards, and perhaps a few of their snacks to go with the wine :cool:
