From an MSE update regarding Nationwide's package bank account account

Possibly a great many over 70s have had some sort of health issue and are paying an extra premium anyway so now they will be paying n additional £65 on top.

"Nationwide is to lower the maximum age covered by its packaged bank account travel insurance from 75 to 70, while raising the surcharge paid by older customers from £50 to £65.
At the moment, its FlexPlus packaged bank account customers under the age of 75 are covered by the insurance, while over-75s can pay an extra fee of £50 a year to get the cover.

But from 3 January 2019, only customers under the age of 70 will have travel insurance included, and over-70s will pay a higher annual fee of £65"

Not over 70 (quite) but I have had a bit of back pain and my son has very mild asthma. Rang NW and they wanted an extra 180 quid to cover us, entered same details on a price comparison site and the family policy was £50 in total so NW wanted more than 3 times as much just to extend the policy.....

Not seen it mentioned but the free tickets to IDH@Xmas are available today. The weekend ones are already sold out.

If anyone fancies an MSE meet I have managed to get couple for the Wednesday.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone that donated to DD's page. We had a fantastic time watching everyone even though ended up paying a premium for the spectator tickets. But we made the most with all the freebies available, crisps, biltong, Trek bars, wine tasting, and Mr TS was happy with several cans of Brew Dog IPA for free. :beer:

It was a great experience for the girls and the smiles at the end said it all. :T

DD has updated the page with a few pics and a message for everyone. :A

That explains it then.
I had another look and I can see September 24th but no bonus offer - I vaguely remember one of them Q or TCB putting bonus in a different place but I cant remember where or which one.

its as bad as savvys lost keys, lost vouchers and lost receipts - nothing is ever where it should be

I've just done one of my Q orders for exactly £6 and I noticed the VAT was £1.01 on the order so now I am worried.
£1.01 is not 20% of £6 - it should be £1.20
Maybe I should just aim for £6.20 for the next order to be on the safe side ...

That's not how you work out the VAT from the final price though

If you know the total price including VAT then you divide by 1/6 (or multiply by 0.16666666 recurring) to get the VAT, multiply that by 5 to get the net figure

Your problem icould be that they've rounded the recurring part of the multiplier

You don't need to spend £6.20, but spending £6 exactly is too close for comfort if you ask me

On COS I have Morrison's/com £4 cash back on Gran Campo Viejo Cava Brut Reserva.

It says "save 1/3" but there's currently £3 off at M's, retailing at £9

I've bought a bottle and the £4 was in my COS account within minutes.

£5 isn't bad for a nice drop of fizz :beer:

Also on CS so might have to try :beer:

Was going to ask if this covered pre-existing conditions, but saw the post below, so guess not.

Popped into a Tesco superstore today and they had loads of the pork. :j

Got two just right sized joints for me around £4 each. :money: Lovely bits of leg with a bit of fat on.

Evening peeps.

I've now just deleted all my A's accounts, all 67 of them. :eek:

So sad that there will be no more glitches across any supermarkets anymore.

That said, We had quite a few good years at their expense.

OR was it a ploy anyway. :cool:
