I've not looked, is tomorrow's "gift" known?

I will probably pass on the chance of cheap Greggs.

50 x Selfridges gift cards worth £500 each.

How did you know before it was released?

The prizes are listed in the terms and conditions of the promotion.  Process of elimination means the £500 gift cards are the last prize.

They must have heard you - it is now a prize draw for the voucher. Website was very slow

I'm glad they did the fair thing in the end and not surprised the website was very slow, seeing as they were still being listed as gifts (first come first served) rather than prizes. Just got my entry in.  Hopefully someone on here gets one of the vouchers. We'll know on the 22nd December.

Bad they didn’t update the Ts and Cs to reflect - knowing in advance would’ve certainly reduced the panic when the site wasn’t working properly

First Direct are ending my £250 overdraft facility on my current account. I suppose it constitutes the removal of a perk.

It was by letter.

Ouch!

To my mind the £250 free overdraft facility is a major attraction of the FD account, even if it's something I've actually made very little use of - it's just reassuring to have that small buffer in the background, just in case.

May I ask if you made use of it often? Just wondering if there's any background logic that can be deciphered here.

I was one of the “lucky” 10,000 to get the Cineworld combo £8 drink and popcorn. Better luck tomorrow hopefully.
