    Anyone else unable to login to their Marcus account?
    Yes, lots of people, hence all the threads on the subject, which are probably a better home for it than this one!

    Marcus seems okay now. This is one of the reasons that I like new accounts to 'settle down' before putting too much money there.
    Thank you for reading this message.

    How much time would you suggest for a "settle"?

    TSB have been around for years, and look what happened there!

    It is like computer software upgrades. I don't like upgrading for at least a month (or until people have stop reporting bugs!), before I upgrade.


    What did TSB do? .. upgrade their system !

    I was having problems until I realised I was trying to log into .com rather than .co.uk. *durrrr!*

    Barclay Double Blue Rewards

    I Understand it is also applciable to existing custome as long as they switch their Bank AcC, Set up 2DD and have been paying £800.
    Switching will need to be done in Branch

    Does anyone have any other interpretation ?
    My interpretation is that you're posting about a rewards current account in a thread specifically about easy access savings accounts, so you'd be better finding a more appropriate home for your post....

    Tesco internet saving is now paying 1.4% with bonus for one year.
    So good to open this account and cancel theinstant access saving account you have got with paying a lower interest rate.


    What is good about Tesco IS is their FPI is quite good, only takes a few minutes (not instant) to arrive to the other end.

    As much as I like Tesco increasing their interest rates, it is annoying as I have to open a new account each time. Move some money into the new one, but wait about a week for them to 'authorise' the account before I can move money out. Then transfer money from the original one to the new one! I am currently on 1.36% - is it worth it for 4p on £100 ?!

    It's also for rolling the end of the bonus forward though... when does your 1.36% run out? A new Tesco account at 1.4% ensures you'll still have somewhere paying that amount for at least 12 months from account opening.

    Probably about 9 / 10 months. However, moving money to Marcus (1.5%) !
