how do you have eleven bank accounts? i dont have that many dds is that my downfall or is it the amount you earn?

Why do you think earnings are relevant? You don't need to earn a lot to have multiple accounts. I earn very little these days but have several accounts, and more than eleven!

Most have less than £50 in them, many a lot less than that, but they were opened, and kept, for various reasons. Some of those reasons have now expired, but I'm keeping the accounts in case of future need (e.g. switching incentives)..

Same with DDs - they're not a requirement on most accounts so they're not a relevant factor.

They were worth at least £450 (in Amazon vouchers) if switched to Santander last year.
