Premier Reward Black

As well as earning Rewards for having 2 Direct Debits at least £4.50 each (like your phone bill), you can earn even more Rewards at our partner retailers, like Caffe Nero, Morrisons or Sky. You can earn between 1-15% back on your purchases.

Your Rewards balance can grow quickly, they're easy to earn and easy to exchange. Once you reach £5 in Rewards, you can redeem it as cash back into your bank account, donate it or trade it up.

Normally 1.00 in Rewards = £1, but trade up with partner retailers like Cineworld, Argos, or even Avios to get even more for your Rewards. You can also donate them to our selected charities.

DragonPass Premier+ gives you unlimited access to over 1,100 lounges worldwide, plus you can enjoy discounts at airport restaurants, cafés and spas. To pre-book visit the DragonPass app and follow the on-screen instructions. Not every lounge allows pre-booking and will be subject to availability. £5 pre-booking fee will apply.

What you need to know:

• We’ll send you a DragonPass Premier+ membership number once your Reward Black account is open. You will need your membership card to gain access to lounges and receive discounts. A digital version of your membership number is also available through the dedicated DragonPass Premier+ app which is free to download from the Apple App and Google Play Store. The app provides full details about your benefits including lounge locations and opening times, and the ability to purchase guest visits and pre-book selected lounges.
• If you have a joint account and are travelling with the other account holder, you will both need to show your membership numbers, either the plastic version or through the app, to access lounges and receive discounts.
• Airport lounges are owned and operated independently of DragonPass. Admission is granted subject to capacity and at the discretion of the lounges.

Worldwide travel insurance (underwritten by AWP P&C SA and administered by AWP Assistance UK Ltd trading as Allianz Assistance) covers you and your family for trips up to 90 days (including 31 days for winter sports). The policy also includes up to £10 million emergency medical expenses cover.

What you should know:

• Family cover includes you and your partner, plus any dependant children under age 18 at the start of the journey (under 23 if they’re in full-time education). Children must be living at the home address (or with the other parent), and be neither married nor in a civil partnership.
• Your partner is the person, you the account holder, live with at the same home address in a relationship, whether married or cohabiting.
• You can check online if this travel insurance covers new or existing medical conditions here. An extra fee may apply, or some conditions might not be covered.
• You can also discuss this over the phone by calling 0345 266 8801 (or Relay UK 18001 0345 266 8801).
• If anyone covered by this policy is aged 70 or over, you must call us each year in order to obtain cover. You will need to pay an annual premium of £75 per person insured aged 70 or over and be medically screened.
• If anyone covered by this policy has an existing medical condition, you must contact us each year to pay an additional premium or accept that your cover may exclude certain conditions.

If Allianz Assistance are unable to offer you an upgrade to extend the level of cover you need, or your upgrade insurance premium is higher than you expected because you have medical conditions, help could still be available.

You may be able to obtain alternative travel insurance cover for pre-existing medical conditions by contacting one of the providers featured in the MoneyHelper Directory of specialist travel insurance providers for people with serious medical conditions. Do take time to study and compare the terms and conditions to ensure you have the cover you need.

There are two different types of overdraft:

• An arranged overdraft, which allows you to go overdrawn up to an agreed limit.
• An unarranged overdraft. This is when you spend more money than you have in your current account without already having an arranged overdraft, or when you exceed your current arranged overdraft limit

We charge interest on both types of overdraft. Going in to an unarranged overdraft limit can lead to payments being rejected. 

To apply for or amend an overdraft on your account visit our Overdraft pages.

All you need to do is tell us the details of your old bank account and when you want the switch to start.

We can't switch savings accounts or ISAs through this service. Any other products you have with your old bank won't be moved at the same time.
