    So even though you said you did not caste a vote, you actually did, and therefore subscribe to the thread - but then as you have been a member since 2014, one would hope you would know that.

    So as i mentioned originally, simply unsubscribe and you will not receive any further responses from this thread!!!

    Asking for a moderator to remove a thread because you are getting notifications, is somewhat drastic dont you think!! Think carefully about voting next time :)

    You do know the difference between archiving and removing, don't you?

    Tranfer one / both Tesco accounts to another provider for a better rate?
    TSB gives 5% on their current account up to £1500. They also give 2% on a monthly saver. You only have to pay in £500 per month.
    But they are also lowering by 2%, back down to 3% from July

    Cash deposits made via the Post Office take a day to appear in the target bank account. Tesco is instant. I can pay the cash in at the Customer Services desk in Tesco, then pull my mobile out and move the money straight into the account I want it in.
    Deposits to Starling are instant at the Post Office. In fact, my phone has vibrated with a notification of the deposit before the till has even started printing the receipt.
  • Keep both / one of your Tesco bank accounts?
    Hi. I've decided to put it toward my 2019/20 Lifetime ISA contribution. Shame, it was a good account at 3% with no other requirements. I'll keep £1 in it though. Handy to have a spare current account.

    Yes, you could even make money from it. At the moment, it's as high as £175 if you never had a Natwest account before, or at least £50 from Santander. Or both, if you play your cards right (though best to have two spare accounts for that) ;)
