Trying to maximise return on small savings, can I do this?

It's £250 a month max. for the regular saver. You can dripfeed it in from another account to get more benefit! I feed it in from a Tesco one.

For £500 a month a FlexDirect and a 5% RS does the job.

While my TSB account is all up and running, my Tesco application (initiated 3 days earlier) has been put on hold because I blacked out the transactions on the VISA statement I used as proof of address!

After talking with them on the phone (I lightly suggested that my transactions are none of their concern on a proof of address), they simply repeat that they "cannot accept defaced documents".

I now have to wait for a new freepost envelope so I can send them my council tax bill.

Word of warning to others, banks are nosy!
