FD - using the RS , don't know is you need any DD's on the account, if need be ill shut it down, not fussed any more.

I have no direct debits on my FD account and it still runs smoothly with the RS and a pound in the rubbish rate savings account to avoid the £10pm fee.

Lloyds - I might move over a DD from my Halifax simply because I forgot I get free cinema tickets each year and use the RS

I might be wrong, but I think you'll just lose the interest on the Lloyds account itself if you stop the DDs. I.e. you could remove all but £1 from the account and still get the cinema tickets and have access to the RS - though you would still need to do the minimum £1500 pay in each month to stop the account fee.

Nationwide - no DD'S on this account I don't think, will close this after a year when 5% is reduced and RS ends

You could get another RS - it's still 5% on £250 a month, and no DDs required.

It's referring to Nationwide Flexclusive RS: for current openings, it's offering 5% pa fixed for a yera, deposit up to £250 per month, unlimited withdrawals. You need to have a NW current account (check the conditions for the Flex RS for detail on appropriate current accounts; no DDs required)

Except that the Nationwide Flexclusive Regular Saver allows withdrawals;)
