Hi all

I remember seeing somewhere that those who had a Nationwide account from before a certain date have free travel insurance. Is this true, and how can I find out if I have it?

    Ring Or pop into a Nationwide branch?
    Only they can give you the correct answer. Would you risk a trip on the say so of a post on a internet forum?

    I'm one of those who has the free European travel insurance.
    If other accounts are like mine, I get a letter from Nationwide every year telling me that the insurance has been renewed.

    No of course I wouldn't. Jut a pain to call them. I thought maybe someone will say 'no, that scheme's long finished' or something like that...

    Should have also mentioned, the benefit was withdrawn for new customers a couple of years ago.

    I've had the account many years. I will have to give them a ring...

    There's also a £750 PM pay in requirement to qualify.
    Miss 1 month, the insurance is cancelled.

    If you can't face phoning them, send a secure message?
