Barclays, Rainy Day & Blue Rewards 29 October 2022 at 4:48PM in Savings & investments 2 replies 293 views

Glad I didn't switch my Barclays account now.

I see the 5% savings but I'm not wanting to get stung with the blue rewards charge.

I know I need 2 direct debits. With Birmingham Midshires shutting down their offerings, I've opened up a Moneybox account & have it set to take a D/D of £2 each week - so that'll be 4 direct debits in a month.

Or will it?

Does it get seen as only 1? I know some banks insist on different direct debits for their criteria, such as TV Licence & Phone bill say.

For the sake of asking, I'd rather just do that & make adjustments in time if needed than find out by getting charged the fee.

It doesn't need to be 2 different DDs for Barclays. Weekly Moneybox will be fine.
