Also note that the Nationwide FlexDirect offer is only for the first year, not every year and intended to be once per customer only. So opening new accounts shouldn't qualify if you've had the offer before (sometimes took awhile for them to enforce that rule, but they're probably pretty good at applying it by now). As linked above, it's only 2.00% now.

the Nationwide interest isn't worthwhile now..
the FlexAccount travel insurance has some value to some though. that's the account i have stuck with, so far.

The travel insurance is a good incentive from Nationwide.

It's nearly time to kiss goodbye to all those TSB Classic Plus accounts... at least this provides us with plenty of fodder for future current account switches...
We’re changing the interest rate on your Plus account.

We wanted to let you know that from 2 December 2020, we’re reducing the interest rate on your Plus account from 1.50% AER* to 0% AER.
No messing about with 0.01% here. It's going to ZERO and they're underlining that fact by also deleting the account T&Cs relating to credit interest.

I'm already eyeing up the 30 transactions for £5 a month alternate account.

I've got a plan. I won't be beaten yet!

haha me too.. 30 small purchases is doable if you can include small DDs and small debit card purchases.
