Can I get a small DD to leave my Co-op Current a/c this month?

I had a zero CC bill so I've only had three DDs leave my Co-op a/c so far this month. I realized this on Friday, but just thought "it's only the 19th, I'll do it at the weekend/Monday morning". Well, I reactivated a DD early this morning using my default provider (GC) but find it will not be collected until Monday 1st March. Have I lost my Rewards for this month (yet again)?

    Quite possibly. DDs always take a few days to set up.

    It's probably a bit too late for this now. If you have a Paypal account, you can deposit money which is taken via a Direct debt.

    You can set up £1 a month direct debits with Oxfam and Unicef. If you set them up today, they may be in place by the end of the week, but get your skates on!

    Too late to get a direct debit set up and a direct debit taken this month, I set up x2 Post Office £1 weekly so I have 8 direct debits coming out of Coop Account most months just to be on safe side.

    In that case you'd be better off having two Co-op accounts, if they allow that.
