    I have time and am quite near an A but sadly I can't justify buying stuff I won't use :o and also I have no outlet to sell any surplus. :(

    If 10 people are testing the same thing, it's probably because 10 people want those items. If no-one's testing it, it's probably a less popular item.

    All we can do is agree to share results and any wombles asap. Which is what we do already, I think. :)

    You mean do a list on the day, depending on what may be glitching, someone actually saying 'oh I am going to Asda for xxxx and will report back' ? That is a good idea because then folks would check back later in the day. I appreciate though it is not always possible because some folks shop on way to work and dont have access to the internet during work hours.

    I'm just trying to think of a way to make it easy and then either somethings not being tested at all or 10 people testing the same thing:o the posts with possible glitch stuff is great but I feel we need to move onto the next stage and get organised in the testing so testing is as good at you guys finding possible glitches:cool:

    We aren't a closed group so organising stuff like this is tricky......you could always share your finds nerfy and save us all a lot of time:D:D:D

    Just thought I'd share my conundrum as I'm sure it may help others.

    BOS have changed their T&C's and in September you need to start setting up 2 DD's to come out of the account monthly.

    I have been reliably informed:A that we can do this via T's savings accounts.

    Can I just check that I've got it right.

    If a couple each have a separate BOS account do they only need to open one Tesco internet savings account each and set up the DD from each of their T accounts to BOS

    Sorry, am a bit confused with T savings account that you are referring to, I have just looked at all of their savings accounts and the interest rates are very low, so are you talking about their current account? That gives 3% same as Santander.

    You need to open a low rate paying savings account to set up the DD's for Bank of Scotland.

    But yes the current account is good at 3%

    Yes, that's my understanding of it. You might even get away with just one Tesco account and setting up both DDs from it if you do them on different dates?
    The two I've done are pet insurance - renewal was this month so I just changed the account it was taken from, and minimum payment on my Amex card. Normally I pay this off in full by debit card transfer, so will just pay balance less DD amount now. Minimal extra work but requirements met. I'm just hoping they don't all go this way, we haven't got an unlimited supply of DDs.

    When I set up my a Club Lloyds account I did ask them if I could do two DDs into the same Tesco account on different dates - they told me that would not work and the two DDs had to go to different recipients. So I did one to mt T account and a second nod to my Husbands T account.
