Advised by email received today that Halifax are closing their Savers Prize Draw.  Not that I'll miss it as I haven't won a bean in it in the last ten years, and I haven't seen any reports from people who have.

I received email about savers draw being discontinued. This was one of the reasons I kept my saving account with £5k. I’ve read in 26th June MSE email that the perks are going in reward account eg £5/cinema, reason being not many people reached it. It’s very rarely I missed it though last month I didn’t his spend. 

I have the Ultimate Reward account which I pay for. This includes everything that the reward account gets plus free holiday insurance, breakdown cover, phone insurance. I’ve had no emails about any changes to this. Nothing mentioned about my ultimate account on Halifax webpages nor emails. Anyone heard that this might change also. It may seriously make me change banks and I’ve been with them for over 20 years

Apparently they have names in banks saying who won. I’ve never seen any. I asked in the bank and they said couldn’t advertise as it was data protection! Rubbish

They can give some info but not enough that it's personally identifiable - similar to premium bonds. 

A member of my extended family apparently won one of the prizes (they certainly don't need the money and wouldn't say how much) but bought a new caravan, another long-haul holiday and other Baby Boomer essentials with it.
