Is that for the travel insurance offered instead of free foreign ATMs?
I'm in the same situation as you regarding the £750 thing. They sent a
letter saying I had to pop 750/1k (can't remember) in each month until
the end of 2012, which I will do with same day faster payments shuffles.
For foreign ATMs, I visited Metrobank when in London.
