Club Lloyds Direct Debits
I completed a switch last year for a bonus which included 3 DDs and a monthly £2000 pay in. 1 of my DDs is about to finish. Do I need to keep 3 (or any) DDs running on the account as long as I keep the £2000 pay in to keep the fee refund and Disney+ benefit? Any help appreciated!
