First Direct are offering First Directory banking with a range of benefits for £9.50 per month with a minimum sign up of 12 twelve months. If you join before 31 December there is a £20 cash back which means the year's membership will actually cost £94. One of the main benefits is a comprehensive worldwide travel insurance policy covering the whole family (provided by Norwich Union).
We (a family of 2 adults and 2 children) are planning a two week holiday in Canada next year, as we have never been further than France before, could any clued up, well traveled person tell me please if it would be worth us taking out the First Directory offer for the travel insurance offered- as I have no idea what a stand alone policy would cost....oh yes - and we would get free cash withdrawals abroad (through Cirrus, whoever they are, and are their machines widely available in Canada?) and commission free travel money.
Any advice welcome!
Thanks Lily
