Tesco Current Account

Sorry if this has already been asked, I couldn't see it if it has.

As an existing Tesco bank customer (3% interest current account), am I affected by the change in there terms and conditions regarding meeting new criteria to get the interest or is this only for new customers?

I'v had a look around and can't see anything that says I am, but the sceptical side of me thinks it probably does!

Many thanks for any help.

    Not sure where you've "had a look around", but just one click away from the Tesco Bank homepage is this...
    With effect from 4 April, our Current Account Guarantee has changed for new applications. To earn 3% AER credit interest on balances up to £3,000 until 1 April 2019, you must now pay in at least £750 per statement month, and pay at least three direct debits each statement month (excluding direct debits to Tesco Bank savings accounts).

    The other clue is that any change to T&Cs has to be notified to you. Have you received any such notification? I certainly haven't
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
