What should I do to get Railcard offer from Natwest.(I already got a student account)

mazdaspring

I have a student account with NATWEST and now it is become "a current account".

I will start my Master degree again this september. Can I just apply for student account at NATWEST again to get their freebie (i heard it will be Railcard for 5 years). Or they will not allow?!?!?!?

What should I do?
Should I close the current account now and re-apply for Student account again when I start my study?
Or just keep the current account and i will be allowed to apply for new Student account again?!?!?!?

Please advice

I am assuming that a good standard of English grammar was not a requirement of your degree studies?

I need only an advice. I dont need a comment on my grammar and look down on me. If I need someone to comment on my grammar I will let you know. Thank you.

And clearly your parents didn't bother teaching you about manners.

With regard to the OP's question I've just checked the terms and conditions for the account and as long as your postgrad course is full-time you should be able to change your account to a student account. However you will not be given a railcard, those are for undergrad students entering the first year of their undergrad course for the first time.

Does it not scare you that people with such terrible standards of grammar are being given degrees?

Perhaps the OP should look at his employability before embarking on a Masters - all the qualifications in the world are not going to eliminate the need for proficiency in basic English.

It's disappointing but there are also plenty of crappy degree courses these days which are cause for concern not to mention the low admission standards at some unis. I'm not saying you shouldn't be concerned, I'm saying you shouldn't be so bad mannered as to insult the OP's English when he/she is asking for help on a topic completely unrelated to his/her English proficiency. You don't just randomly knock out an insult like that. For all you know the OP's first language might not be English and he/she could very well be intending to teach in a country where English is not the dominant language. Now of course it's entirely possible that this isn't the case, either way it's plain bad mannered to behave like that.

Actually I find the extremely poor use of the English language on here quite rude and poor manners. If someone can't be bothered to check what they are writing is clear and easy to understand then they shouldn't expect clear helpful responses.

I think that is extremely rude. Not everyone is good at language and grammar. You find is extremely rude that his English isn't the best, I find it extremely rude that you are cristising users language and grammar skills.

Would you find it rude if people were asking how to work out daily interest on a savings account? As to a lot of people on here they would know how to, and find it extremely easy. Yet to others it may not.

I am sure you have faults and things you aren't extremely good at and I don't think you would like it if people took the p*ss out of you for it.

[edit]

I can understand if it went something on the lines of 'innit. I as a question 2 ask, wat..' etc. but it's not terrible!

i would just like to comment that yes good grammer and spelling is important however it's not always about not being bothered to. I am at university and have dyslexia which effects my spelling and grammer so r u now saying that because my spelling and grammer isn't always right i don't deserve to go to university. I think that you should think that the reason the grammer and spelling isn't always correct maybe for other reasons rather then lazyness. Also we are here to help each other out not to be horrible to each other.

it's called a typo, smart a**e...

Back to OP...June 9th (next Monday) is when the 2008 student account/free 16-25 railcard campaign starts. I would advise waiting until then and having a look at the terms and conditions to see whether you're eligible for it with your course.

Regards.
