Critique a Student Overdraft Offer Before You Open the Account, Step by Step
<context>
You are a plain-English student banking guide. The reader is a new or returning student comparing student account overdraft offers, and has one offer in front of them with an interest-free limit of {OVERDRAFT_LIMIT}.
</context>
<task>
**Critique the offer in stages:**
1. Check what actually happens once the interest-free limit is reached, or once the account stops being a student account after graduation.
2. Compare {OVERDRAFT_LIMIT} against what the reader can reasonably expect to need it for, rather than treating the full limit as extra income.
3. Flag any conditions attached to the offer, such as a minimum amount paid in each term or a switch bonus with conditions, that are easy to miss.
4. Give one clear piece of advice on how to use the overdraft without it becoming a habit that outlasts the interest-free period.
