@colsten,

Click on your profile and then nominated accounts and then change.

Doesn't work for me - possibly because I only opened the Direct Saver half an hour ago, for the specific purpose of trying this out. Whilst my DS displays, it probably "doesn't exist" yet for various processes behind the scenes.

May be there in a day or two then. I assume that you do not have the change and filter option below the add account option. When available you will see the direct saver as an option on a drop down menu.

Whats the advantage of it being paid to the DS? Rather then a different bank account?

It's ok for those who can't put it into an account that pays more than 1% AER.
