Applied online to open a new account. Had to arrange a meeting to fully open the account unlike other accounts I have opened despite previously banking with NatWest. Sadly had to wait for card reader as I do not like banking via apps.

Got some competitors quotes saved 60 days before my renewal date. Also logged onto Aviva as a new customer for a price comparison. Best competitor quote was under £500 with the same extras. A new quote with Aviva over £800. Finally got my
Lots of persistent phone calls and emails and texts in the days prior to renewal. I HATE this. Got offered a £20 online discount but only valid for one day.
Renewal with them was cheaper than elsewhere and the only thing I hate is that the value of my car stated as between £500 and £1499. I'm concerned as trade in price is only £190-£250.

Switched my Current Account in January to Halifax and gained £100 switching fee and £3 monthly bonus. Wasn't happy with the special offers as I didn't shop or eat out at any of the stores given and you have to opt in to them anyway. So, I waited until TSB offered a fee and switched back to receive £125 and 5% interest up to £1500 and 5% cashback on the first £100 of contactless payments. Only downside of TSB Plus Account is that they block your account when you spend or transfer large amounts of money. I now use another Current Account for this reason as well.
My switching has earned me more than my yearly work bonus.
I am definitely a believer in #MaxYourMoney.

Had a lot of calls lately about my account. They are constantly blocking my ability to purchase online due to my spending and investing habits.
I received a phone call from an unknown number in Elgin which I missed. A text which I replied to stating Yes the activity was made by myself followed by a home phone call 3 days later.
Whilst happy with the interest rates and extre security I am getting annoyed by these blocking actions. In the summer I had to travel into the nearest branch (as none where I live) following a transfer of a large amount to another bank's online saver I opened. With the interest rate dropping in January I am considering switching to a branch within my town.
