I just pay for my allotment by cheque.
The first house I bought I had to pay ground rent via cheque but since moving we own the land too so no longer pay ground rent. Honestly not sure what I’d ever have to pay for via cheque nowadays, even the ground rent surprised me at the time lol.
Wrong topic.

Well it’s a reward account, but not premier.
These are so much better.
Could be that then maybe. If I could be arsed then I would upgrade it and reorder then wait 2 months. But meh probs only gonna write one to myself to see how to
I’d posted this previously … but it’s a long way back in the chat now:
When I joined child and Co I opened the standard select account. I then tried to upgrade it to the premier reward account and ended up with a second account.
I requested a chequebook for the Premier Reward account and received a chequebook for both accounts. Strangely the book for the Standard Select account says ‘Premium Account’ on the front and on each cheque, and the book for the Premier Reward account doesn’t!
So it looks like the used to give the ‘Premium Account’ ons to regular accounts, and the ones without Premium on them to the Premier accounts.
Most people won’t have heard of it or realise it’s a military bank. It doesn’t mention it on the front - the bit about the military covenant is only on the rear of the card.

Do you even get any perks of it?
I forgot to mention lin Feb that there were some changes to both NatWest and RBS Premier - the following mails came out with the heading ‘We’re improving your service’
We want to let you know about some changes we’re making to improve your Premier Banking service.
Your team of Premier managers are on hand from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week.
• We’re making it easier for you to speak with a Premier manager at a time and on a day that suits you.
• From 26th February, you’ll have a team of Premier managers available to you instead of just one.
• This means you’ll no longer have a single named point of contact, but the team will be more accessible and available to support you between 8am and 8pm, seven days a week, by phone or by video call.
Specialist advice and financial planning from Coutts.
• As a Premier customer, you can access our team of wealth managers to talk about investments, pensions, tax and full financial planning delivered by Coutts (eligibility criteria and fees may apply).
Dedicated support when buying or moving home.
• If you need mortgage advice, you can speak to a specialist mortgage adviser who works with your Premier team to help you through the home-buying process.
Access your banking and investments, 24/7.
• Manage all your banking and investments using our mobile app.
• If you need to speak to us for day-to-day banking queries, your dedicated Premier 24 team will continue to be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
• If you’re registered for Voice ID, as soon as you start talking your voice will confirm who you are.
You can also find out more about the features and benefits available to you on our Premier Banking webpage.
I want the colourful chequebook 
The B&W one isn’t even centred, Doesn’t say ‘Bankers’ nor have the ‘Your attention is drawn to the important notes inside’, the notes inside are blue and doesn’t have the yellow C&Co branding pattern, it’s just blue lines. Even the 1 Fleet Street is absent, mine says Manchester.
Would it be possible that different Chequebook are sent depending on how you order it? I asked a live agent to do it, maybe if you order yourself though online banking ‘Order a Chequebook’ you get a different one?
As soon as I get my Drummonds Card I will manually order a chequebook in online banking to conform my hypothesis.
I think you’d be wasting your time personally. IMO based on this thread they’ve just stopped issuing the fancy chequebooks, probably due to the huge decline in cheques being used.
