If you're talking about 'Apply for a new product' on the bottom right of the first page you land on, I've already tried that; it just leads to the external application.

Yep. That's the one.

It shouldn't. As I already have 2 current accounts, it won't allow me to apply for another, but if I apply for a saver, all my details are pre-filled. I ams ure that was the case when I applied for my send current one, too.

Are you sure you are logged in now?

Thanks again, all.
OK yes it did allow an internal application. I was put off by the fact that the preamble was similar to the first application.
The reason for my caution was because earlier in the evening, I was declined a second account with Bank of Scotland (only offered a cash account) despite successfully securing one a few days ago. What do you think might be the reason, and should I wait before applying a third time? The Tesco second account application was successful BTW.

Don't they all? Some banks limit you to one current account of a certain type, e.g. Halifax Reward, or TSB Classic Plus, but you can have several of their bog standard accounts if you want.

OP amended.

I got my second Barclays account in branch no problem. The smile one I got on line again very straight forward.

I'm now helping my mother add a new account for DD purposes but the Account Overview page no longer shows 'Apply for a new product'. Also, do either of the appropriate accounts give you an account straight away?

Really unsure what you're asking:o

Can you be be a bit more specific?

What new account are you trying to add for DD purposes?

Which 'appropriate accounts' are you referring to?

The ones that can have DDs credited to them?

Just open their website home page in a parallel window/tab with the same browser when being logged in and go to Save > Internet Saver > Apply

http://www.tescobank.com/savings/flexible/internet-saver/apply.html

You will get to a form with pre-filled details eventually.

Go back a stage, you are in "Account Overview" and you need "Online Banking Overview"

Pretty sure you needed active current account to open a saving account, I had my current application pending but it would reject opening the saving account due to a "error". Worked fine after the current account was opened.
