You started out by saying "I hate to see money sat there and not earn any interest", when all along the cash was sat making 3% AER?I already have a Santander 123 account
Or are you saying the cash really was making nothing, when all along you could have put it in your 1-2-3 account and make 3% AER on it?

Puzzled!
I have a few accounts and the money is spread across them all, so only making a few quid at the most, I have put it all in the 123 account.

Unless you make at least £5 a month from DD cashback, the Santander 123 is one of the worst accounts you could keep your money in.
My DD cash back is more than the £5 so I am ok there, plus I have just set up my mums water, gas and electric DD from my account so I may get cash back on them too!0
