Thanks all for your replies. One other thing is regarding withdrawing cash. Do they charge you for withdrawing from, for example, a Lloyds TSB or NatWest cash machine?

No they don't charge .. I use Lloyds and sainsburys cashpoints and have never been charged. Its a LINK card so think it free for all the major banks ATM's

The only time I was charged using my Cashminder card was at a M6 service station, I had broken down, waiting for the RAC and no cash, the cash point I used told me I was going to be charged (which I think they all do if there is going to be a charge),
I thought to hell with it, My little one wanted food and I certainly needed coffee and had little other choice & needed cash!
I use my village post office (while we still have one)!!!, to pay in any cheques for my co-op account there, but cheque payments are so rare these days, I can't see you needing to nip to your nearest co-op branch that much, if you need to. Get as much as you can to paid straight into the account. Via BACS or internet bank transfer. You can manage your account on-line. I have found that the Cashminder account little different to the one I had before. Except no cheque book & no "raised numbers" debit card - oh and no interest if you're in credit!!!

Thanks for the useful information, Diablobear. I think your signature is excellent, BTW.

I got Co op account when I went bankrupt and think the only people who haven't accepted mine were online......

I thought it was pretty good aswell.
First time Ive done the "quote" thing- so apologies if this ends up looking a bit weird.

You can get a paying in book and pay cheques into your account at the post office. I have just opened my coop account and was told this quite clearly during the registration. ( I told them I was miles from a branch) They sent me the paying in book the day after the card arrived :-)

You can also post cheques with a paying in slip direct to co-op

Have just found out you can't use your electron card online to buy tickets at Odeon or Cineworld cinemas :mad:

For my treat this month Mr P is taking me to see SATC. We'll just have to turn up and hope it's not too busy.

Couldn't use it to top up my sim card on the phone, but probably a good thing cos the alternative SIMs turned up today and we're gonna go with them.

Just out of interest Merry, which phone co. don't accept it?
We have 02 and Virgin and have topped up with no probs.
