Advantage gold query

emh_2

Hi

Recently discussing annual travel insurance my friend told me they don't pay for theirs because it's free with their Natwest Advantage gold account. I quickly reminded them that actually it wasn't free since they were paying £12 a month for it. I was somwhat shocked by their reply which was 'we don't pay the fee its free!'

Does anyone know if this is true? perhaps if you earn over a certain amount?
I have often weighed up the pros & cons of the benefits versus charges but have yet to be convinced. But I am interested to know if it is possible to get this free. I believe it has moved to advantage gold private and this is still free of charge.

thanks

If he is a member of staff then he does not pay for advantage gold or a NatWest Bank pensioner or RBS Group employee. He does pay £12 a month otherwise but travel insurance being complimentary as part of the package is not the only benefit. I will not go through the benefits cos it could sound like an advert and I am not getting paid to make one on here.

Thanks for replying

He doesn't work for the bank. Would they ever give it free to 'good' customers?

No is the answer, but ask your friend to check his statements for either, a) a charge of £12 or b) a direct debit for advantage gold on his account because he might pay it through this method.

I won't start ranting on to my bank then about how good a customer I have been all these years etc......
