Anyone reckon both account holders of a joint a/c can get the £75 each?!

Surely Nationwide would take down the promotional literature when 4000 eligible applicants had been reached, :think: my local branch didnt even have any switching forms today. :rotfl:

Agreed, but you could still be caught out 'on the date' if they reached their target half-way through the day that you apply. My plan will be to ask them whether I've subsequently qualified when I've applied to switch and my new e savings account is opened. If someone foolishly says "yes, we're still accepting applications" I will take the person's name and note this down as a back stop.

As an existing Flexi-Account holder with debit card, ive just applied and been accepted for another Flexi-Account with another debit card, are Nationwide really happy for people to have two current accounts.

If so having two debit cards would be very useful when it comes to cashback site gambling deals. :j

Was wondering if anyone who has already applied has had any confirmation through the post that they are within the first 4000 for the 75.00 bribe and being as nothing was mentioned during the application process about which additional product is planned to take out. ( or the 1000.00 savings option) does any info about this come through the post.

Shame we applied for our joint Flex just before this! I now have 2 debit cards, 2 overdrafts and a pile of chequebooks!

but you still need to invest 1000 pounds in a savings product.

The way I read it is there are two routes to the £75...

EITHER

switch an account from elsewhere AND buy another product

OR

simply move £1,000 of new money into an eSavings account via your existing FlexAccount.

Interesting reading of T&C section 4 - I was assuming it was 4.1 AND then either one of the products mentioned in 4.2 or the money into savings account (ie savings account money also included in 4.2) but the formatin gdoes suggest otherwise.

Anyway have gone for it for wife and I on joint account with 2x1k transfers to saving a/c and switch of two 1dd, 1 so accounts maintained for these offers so hiopefully we are covered on all bases.

Outstanding questions:
Can we both get the bonus?
I took advantage of the offer about 2 (?) years ago when it was a single account in my name and got 100 quid so they may not want to give a second switching bonus?

(Taking the proverbial really aren't I :rotfl: )

I mentioned that to their Marketing Department before Xmas (because I too got the £100 on an existing account last time in April 2007) and was told it wouldn't matter.

Took her name etc, but then decided not to go for this particular offer.
