The sods have swapped the 3% cash back items to 1% and vice versa.
So I had my TV licence 3 Mobile bills, 2 ISP bills (mine and someone elses) a total of just £123 a month @ 3% cash back.
My Water bill that was 1% (£23 monthly) now earns 3% cash back.
Plus I also found out the the 1.5% on the bank balance hasnt been for quite a while and is currenly 0.6% and is dropping to 0.3% in April.
I used to have the 123 account with them. Originally it paid 3% on balances above £3000, 2% over £2000 & 1% over £1000 That was when I had sod all in the bank, now I have more than £3000 they pay sod all in interest!

« on: 19 January 2021, 22:01:37 »They also seem to be showing a similarly low mileage Desmond. Not as desirable, but the only one I've ever seen in that shade of metallic blue/green
but they also have a reasonable V6 2.6 .... https://www.raccars.co.uk/car-56938636?i=2&m=vd 78000 miles is nothing

« on: 19 January 2021, 21:39:43 »Strong money but someone could haggle and then put a bit of cash into it, bushes and the like...No MOT? If people want to sell a car why can't they get an MOT first. Since there isn't any MOT I'd assume the worst and that it needs major repairs.
It's only just out of MOT and in general it's had a reasonable pass rate. The misfire might just be a coil pack ....

... and not much over £20 just replace once you have checked fan works.
Is that all? I paid around £100 for one for SWMBO's Citroen .... and it wasn't even the fault! And Citroen wouldn't have it back
