this doesn't include cashbacks I can get from topcahsback or quidco!

Correct. Or promotions such as Nationwide recommend a friend. There is a certain amount of research to do find the right choice(s) for each person's circumstances.

If I switch via TopCashBack, I will get £200?
Also it wants me to have 4!!!! direct debits! I don't have that many, I only have my mobile. What can I do?

If there is a £200 switch offer, please : -

• do post a link to the offer
• stop moaning about DDs as there are cillions of posts helping people with DDs

will anyone help me with DDs too? I don't want to give more than £4 per month for DDs and to be honest, I would like to limit that to £2 per month, as £6 pounds I pay for my mobile!

I opened a Co-op account last year.
Co-op customer support told me that I will be eligible for the £150 bonus because I was not using it.
They promised to send me a new debit card in the post.
To switch, I was asked to phone again after getting the Debit Card of the old account.
Would I also get the TCB Cashback if I click through their link enter information required?
Thanks!

anyone?????????????

Something worth considering is setting up inexpensive DDs with charities. Minimum used to be £1 per month but due to costs they incurr to set up DD facilities, the minimum is now £2 per month.
I setup four of these for Co-Op bank and M&S Current Account
So the cost will be £96 per year.
Expensive, thinking in terms of money saving only, but there is the 'feel good factor' of giving a little to charities. The ones I found are:
Water Aid, Christian Aid, StreetChildAfrica, Oxfam and Save The Children
There might be more to find if you like the idea.
