opinions4u Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Stick £250 or more in one of these and get a free Latics shirt (first 250 accounts opened). Simple as that. Open it at the branch in the town centre and you can enjoy a few digs at the branch manager who's a Huddersfield fan! http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/page/NewsU...2273509,00.html Somewhere to stick the season ticket money. As at 9.45am this morning they'd opened 1 account, so another 249 shirts yet to be claimed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you walk out with a shirt or do you get it at a later date? Looks like you can also apply on their website - careful not to join the Rochdale one! http://www.skipton.co.uk/savings_and_inves...dhamAthleticAfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slurms mckenzie Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 What a cr@pola interest rate. Would only use it, if I was desperate for a new latics shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a market leader for a passbook account! Bank in the £250. Get the shirt. Buy next season's season ticket with the money left over. Hardly any lost interest!

To be honest, I'd rather lose out on £3-£4 in interest and get a free shirt. Each to their own though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you kidding? If you buy a shirt out of your £250, you have £210 left. With this deal, you have a shirt and still have £250 earning more interest. It's an instant 16% return.

The club won't get a huge sum but they will get a regular yearly income as long as the accounts stay open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll struggle to get 5% anywhere else, so the loss of a maximum of 3.75% on £250 for a full year would cost less than £10, hence it's a decent deal.

rudemedic Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Best buy easy access account pays 2.9% at Post Office. Internet only. If you can be bothered to set it up right apparently the Halifax account where if you pay £1000 in a month they give you £5 is a good one as apparently you only have to pay the money in, you can withdraw the money almost straight away and they still give you £5. So get paid on the Friday (into your Halifax account), and then transfer the money to an account which pays much better interest at the next opportunity via a standing order.

If your talking about the Ultimate Reward current account it's true they pay £5 into the account for you every month, but they also take £12.50 fees for having that account and giving you the "rewards" e.g. travel insurance etc that go with the account!

Nah there's another one with no fee, no extras but after a quick scan it might be very tight on the overdraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the one without the fee: http://www.halifax.co.uk/bankaccounts/curr...urrent-account/ If you pay the same £100 in and out of the account 10 times a month you'll qualify for the fiver ... so your overdraft doesn't have to take too much of a hammering. (This isn't a good account to run an overdraft on though - costs £1 a day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirinclassic Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 A bit off topic, but what's the inflation rate in the UK nowadays? Hazy recollections of seeing 3.7% but could be wrong... Thanks in advance for any answers. KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticMark Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 A bit off topic, but what's the inflation rate in the UK nowadays? Hazy recollections of seeing 3.7% but could be wrong... Thanks in advance for any answers. KC UK inflation jumped in December 2010 with the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rising to 3.7%, up from 3.3% in November. Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation - which includes mortgage interest payments - rose to 4.8% from 4.7%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another fan Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 May have missed it but did many people open accounts and which shirts did you get (bearing in mind that according to another thread new design shirts are due next season) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
