She left me years ago Big., for a limbo dancer. I said "How low can you get".

I have asked and did when they first launched and was told yes I could take family and friends using the tickets, and like I say never had a issue if I wasn't with them when they were used.

Giving them away or sharing them is fine. You can do what you like with them as long as you don't make a financial gain.

I've just changed mine from the magazine subscription to the cinema tickets (if you want to change, you need to tell Lloyds by 30th May). So now OH and I both get free cinema tickets. That's date night sorted.

For clarity the date is down to your account opening date, it's not a fixed date.

My sympathy. Did the dancer enjoy the film?

I love my free cinema tickets. I gave 2 to my DD and her husband last year and they had no difficulties using them.

I've just received cinema tickets - I'd forgotten they do them every year.

I'm planning to close my club lloyd account at the end of this month, as I'm withdrawing all to fund a replacement car. I looked on the lloyds website at terms and conditions and it says: "The benefit option selected will continue for so long as the Club Lloyds account remains open, or you have a Club Lloyds benefits package added to an Added Value Account, and the Club Lloyds fee continues to be paid or conditions for the fee to be waived are met."

I'm not clear whether that means I just have to have the account open and pay fee when the vouchers were issued (as has fortuitously happened), or whether going forward they will they cancel any un-used vouchers from the date that I close the account. Anyone know?

I'm not sure of the precise conditions with the tickets - but why do you need to close the account?

If you leave a few pounds in it and make sure you maintain all the other T&C's then you can keep the account and the question about the validity of the cinema tickets isn't an issue. However, if you cannot find a way to meet the minimum pay in requirement then you'd need to think more carefully about keeping or closing the account.

And don't forget that rather than just closing the account you might want to switch it somewhere else and get paid a bonus.

Thanks for your reply. I'd decided to close the Club Lloyds account because I've had so many money swirls going on between accounts that it is hard to keep track. I appreciate that I can send money in and out of an account on the same day, but my experience has been that sometimes there is a hiccup due to bank holidays etc - so that money goes out and then the money coming in doesn't turn up until the day after. So my thought is that just closing the account would be easiest.

Your suggestion about switching to elsewhere, rather than just closing, is much appreciated. That hadn't been on my radar. I've had bank accounts with just about everywhere over the years, but I will check that there isn't one I've missed that's paying a bonus. Thanks.

If you set a standing order on the same day for an exchange of funds between accounts, there shouldn't be any issues can there?

Winding down accounts to simplify things sounds like a good idea as well. Keep things easy.
