Thanks for that will look into it
see what DD I have and can swap arround etc0 -
Final comment from me on this: it's rather annoying, isn't it, when there's evidence for your hypocrisy. Regarding morals: as a self-respecting Buddhist, you wouldn't continuously tell others that they have no morals (e.g. "I don't know how you guys sleep at night" - although you appear to have deleted that now, thank you), and/or expect them to life by your self-created morals.You do make me laugh! You have nothing better to do than dredge up old posts - it's your strategy to try to destroy any argument with which you disagree. To answer your criticism it is completely acceptable for people to refine and develop how they feel about life. With age comes wisdom. A Buddhist who doesn't suggest a moral approach to others is a selfish Buddhist. There are those who are interested only in enlightenment for themselves.0 -

should I keep my Halifax Reward Account? or Switch it away? or Switch TSB Classic Plus (They changing account this year I think)
Still don't know what account is best0 -
So what would be better 1/2/3 Lite Or Natwest Reward?
or Should I just Keep my Halifax Reward Account open?
It depends how much you would make from 123 Lite, they have an online calculator that works it out based on your DDs. You will get more money back from CO-OP, Barclays and Natwest than with Halifax, but nothing stopping you have them all if you can get enough DD!0 -
I am concerned that TSB taking away the 3% interest so wanna switch that account if that's the case.
Halifax Find Their Online Banking easy to use & Statements easy to read and like their mobile app. (Haven't been to branch since account has been open)
TSB Online banking has got worse and can't order statements online (like I used to before meltdown) have to ring up all the time or go to branch which I have been to a few times.
Could pay for PS+/Xbox Live via DD
Could switch TSB To Co-Op and find 4 DD to get Rewards0 -
-
I could do that... but had soo much trouble with TSB it made me want to leave and switch it to somewhere else,
Or keep TSB/Halifax but open Co-Op and find 4 Direct Debits?0 -
What's the obsession with paper statements? I could (kind of) understand it for your main account, but all the other accounts seems unnecessary.TSB Online banking has got worse and can't order statements online (like I used to before meltdown) have to ring up all the time or go to branch which I have been to a few times.
One PO Savings account pulling a weekly DD will do the job.Could switch TSB To Co-Op and find 4 DD to get Rewards0 -
As long as I can Order paper statements easily/get easy to read PDF’s online I am
happy with that.
So could Keep
TSB Classic Plus
Halifax Reward (Find 2 DD)
Open Co-Op (Find 4 DD)
Open Santander 1/2/3 lite or Natwest Reward (Move Mobile Phone & TV/Broadband DD)
That could wok but will have a think about what I wanna do unless anyone else got some IdeasYou will get more money back from CO-OP, Barclays and Natwest than with Halifax, but nothing stopping you have them all if you can get enough DD!
Don't think I could have all of them as don't have enough Direct Debits to make it work0 -

What all DD's do you have? Do you have DDs set up for council tax and paying off the minimum on credit cards? There is also the option of setting up a savings account that accepts DD's and pay into it with them.0
