Virgin Money Current Account

I suppose the question to luvchocolate should be: where do you get more than 2% AER in an instant access account? Even just for £1,000.

You need to understand, people doing this will have more than this Virgin account.  There is also the TSB, which earnt me £1.90 this month.  There are others.  These amounts all add up.  I usually earn over £250 per month playing the game.
There is also the possibility of being a customer with a bank of being offered other products which may be of benefit.

Another way of looking at it, is that you would have to put 200,000 in a high street bank’s savings account to earn the same amount, as none of them are now paying more than 0.01%

I believe the point being made is that this thread has 46 pages which far exceeds any other current account thread. What has prompted such enormous interest for a mere £1.70 per month?

Too many hassles opening this one. Only ever had  verification issues opening with HSBC before. It does not appear to be a reliable one so other than access to paired savings account I will not use meaningfully.

Have you seen the length of the thread on the changes to the Halifax Reward current account??

A bit inevitable really. After all there have been 38 of them. So far.

Fair point, although compared to the Halifax a Reward account, the VM account is pretty unremarkable.
