Santander 123

After successfully applying for a Santander 123 account I now have to find another DD.


Will a DD for a credit card be OK even if some months there is not a balance to be paid?


Also how many DDs do I need for my BoS Vantage account?
over 73 but not over the hill.

    The DD only has to be set up/active, ie not lapsed under the 13 month dormancy rule, so as long as you pay one every 12 months or so you'll be OK.

    How many does it say you need in the BoS Vantage T&Cs?

    The answer to the OPs first question isn't clear, judging by the number of times the question is asked on here (just this evening was the latest, although not on a Santander thread).

    However, the answer to the second question is very clear, and can be found just 2 clicks away from their homepage. And if the OP doesn't read the T&Cs, how will they know they've complied with the other requirements for earning interest?

    Teach a man to fish...:)

    From what I can see, none, it is the Reward account that needs 2.
