    We can only assume that Tesco have analysed their accounts and know how many £££'s are likely to walk out the door in June.

    Well you'd hope they have, otherwise they might get a shock!!
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)

    Hmm, I have one of the 'old' accounts that pays 3% without needing me to pay in any minimum or have any direct debits. I wonder if this applies to this account too? I guess I'll wait and see what letter I get...

    Same here...

    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    2021 £1250.00, 2022 £1500.00, 2023 £1500, 2024 £1350
    2025 target = £1200, YTD £9190

    Did you bother to read the article?

    Second line - “The change will come into effect for new customers from Friday 1 March, and for existing customers from 14 June.”

    There's nowhere else to go just now tho, is there? With a decent interest rate?

    ��

    Well there is a few instant access saving account paying above 1%. Marcus for instance is paying 1.5%.

    Tesco internet saving was paying 1.45% (keep changing).

    People could also start putting more money into Innovative ISA, S&S ISA with manageable level of risk rather than see their cash develuate on daily basis.

    I'm not sure it's worth me opening another account for half a percent more... 🙄

    People could also start putting more money into Innovative ISA, S&S ISA with manageable level of risk or if possible to be put into pension. Unless you want to see your cash eaten by inflation and devaluate on daily basis.

    I reckon there is just about every likelihood that they will know to the nearest £K how much they are likely to save even if everybody stayed on.
