    Lovely stuff. Just applied for an upgrade to Premier through the Barclays app and was upgraded immediately.

    The welcome document confirms that the means testing and monthly fee is waived for the first 12 months.

    Thanks for all of your help!

    Sorry to re-ask the same question but it got lost amongst a discussion on the benefits of premier. For those who upgraded… prior to the upgrade, was your initial application via the premier product (and redirected due to the entry of a sub-£75k salary, or a direct application for the standard account? (Also, presume through the app?).
