    I off DD set up...


    what sort of English is that?


    I get that you're saying DD=Direct Debit so I off Direct Debit? You off Direct Debit what?


    I'm sure if you explain it it'll be an oh yeah facepalm moment but I honestly don't get what you're saying at all.

    [STRIKE]I[/STRIKE] 1 [STRIKE]off[/STRIKE] DD set up to pay weekly, qualifies as 4 dds per month to Tesco

    Any clearer?

    The poster must have decided to use Roman numerals for some reason! ;)

    Yeah i'm with you now.



    Communicating like that you could get a job where I work :p


    Go on, i've left it open for you to take a shot back how I never got you first time :)
  • Tesco requires one direct debit instruction...called 3 times in the month.

    Didn't you say you had a PO account?

    So why settle for 1.5% when you can have 3%?...on up to £12K between you.
    Now that i've just had a bit more time i've had a look and are you saying that we can have 2 solo accounts each? It mentioned "on up to £3k" but just to check, these are 2 solo accounts each, none of them have to be joint?

    Yes, and yes.


    If you open a joint account you'll shoot yourself in the foot (by limiting yourselves to a max of £9K)!
  • I'm continuously getting pulled between simplifying the accounts and having them work as hard as possible or at least somewhere near :) The latter usually wins in the end.


    So for 4 accounts, well 2 each, we'll both need 2 post office savers then & set up 3 direct debits per saver.


    All my existing PO savers are tied up with other accounts at the moment, though i don't have the latest edition (33?) so that'll probably be getting opened in the morning.

    Wrong. Go back and read the info provided (several times) earlier in the thread. When you said "Yeah i'm with you now", you weren't really were you?

    I think you know what you need, but haven’t expressed it.

    For absolute clarity, each Tesco bank account needs 1 direct debit mandate that pays out 3x per month.
