Student Accounts

Is it just me, or does the Student Accounts Article (link in the latest email) suggest that the best accounts are the ones with the biggest overdrafts? Having a massive interest-free overdraft really tempts you to spend - I know I wouldn't have spent half as much as I did as a student were it not for all that "free money". The Natwest young persons railcard was mentioned, but certainly not emphasised.
Anyway, just seemed a little different to the general tone of articles on here to me.

If you're skint it's better to use the free overdraft than credit card debts at 18%.
If you're not then why not put the money in an ISA to gain interest where you won't be tempted to touch it?0 -
And don't forget the free webcam from Nat West if you sign up online!:beer:0
