    Take out a 0% purchase credit card. Spend as normal, but the money you spend stash somewhere that earns interest. Make the minimum payments for duration of 0%. Then pay off in full after (typically about 2 years)

    I also plan to get on 1st Feb:

    NatWest £5 for a £2 fee (requires 2DD)

    Is it Natwest reward account where you get £5 cashback by paying household utility bills with DD ?

    My the cash backs I have got from utility bills are already with Santander. Is there another way to generate this £5 cashback without using utility bills ???

    Stozing sounds like a good idea.

    If TSB Change there Classic Plus Account then will either close it or switch away to something better..

    Any other Reward/Interest Accounts out there? that's not been said?

    Co-op you only need 1 DD mandate that takes 4 times a month.
    Open a PO savings account, and set it a £1 a week


    Yes, that's what I do, although I have a second monthly one too, for some reason :think:

    Am I correct to say that you will need to have a fee paying account of either Reward Silver or Reward Platinum in return for perks. Start from 1st february in addition to this perks people with these accounts might get £5 cashback by DD and using Mobile banking ??

    If I understand correctly, it might be worthy for people who need these perks. But for people who do not need them it will cost more than £3 they will get in return.

    Some people already have European annual travel insurance from Nationwide flex account.
