Millions more can now earn up to £500 a year by referring friends to Nationwide

Former_MSE_Megan_F · 22 June 2017 at 2:06PM

Nationwide has extended its popular 'refer a friend' scheme to allow anyone with one of its mortgages or savings accounts to earn up to £500 a year - though it's added more hoops to jump through to get the cash.

"The FlexAccount is a bog standard current account, that doesn't come with additional perks."

Linked 5% regular saver is quite a perk...

+ "Exclusive cashback offers when you're shopping online and on the high street, with Simply Rewards"

+ "3 month interest-free overdraft"

I don't value these but some might so they are also perks.

Hi both, we've tweaked the news story to reflect that the FlexAccount doesn't come with additional perks that the FlexDirect and FlexPlus accounts don't also offer.

Thanks,

I suggest the above is a confusing use of a double negative. It is not that I never fail to complain where I can.

You can also get free European Travel Insurance as long as you pay in £750 per month

Not any more you don't:

FlexAccount Travel Insurance is only available to existing FlexAccount customers who applied for their FlexAccount before 15 December 2016

This no longer applies for new FlexAccounts.

It was gutting when they stopped the repeats, Dw and I used to refer each other every year for 400 quid before they beought that rule in.

Daughter had a basic current account when she referred me to Nationwide this March. I opened a qualifying account and went to considerable lengths to ensure 2 direct debits were xferred over. Then I discovered her current account wasn't a qualifying current account

.

I don't mind so much because I'll save £60 a year in fees, but she was gutted to lose out on the £100.
I'm not sure what current accounts qualify under the new scheme, but heads up ppl to the small print.
