ForumUser7 said:I've gone for the 5.20% Santander Account but not really sure what to do about the 7% one. I have no intention of paying a fee and setting up the DDs etc., as I do not spend enough to recover it through cash back. This means I am ineligible although I am aware of the loophole. It seems some have successfully utilised it, but I'm not sure if it is worth the risk of being banned from Santander to have 1.80% extra for 1 year only. Any thoughts? Anyone else also feeling uncomfortable about this one?1

So simple to open & fund this account - the only downside is how quickly will it be withdrawn ??
GO GO GO !!!

I've moved mine over too (easy-peasy) and unlike so many am quite happy to pay the £3 fee as that will easily be recouped from my direct debits. My only gripe, I wanted to switch my Barclays account but as I already had a Santander account they said I had to do this in a branch. Couldn't be arsed with that so I've switched the Barclays to my CHASE account and have moved the direct debits over manually. Just one left to do.1

- We'll complete some final checks before we open your account
- These can take up to 3 working days, but are usually done within a couple of hours.

I've moved most of my funds to Santander today but left the account open.
Today I received a bonus payment direct to my linked account. It's not the monthly interest so I can't work out what it is as I've not had that in previous months or paid direct to my linked account.
Any ideas??0
