Free Weekend Break from First Direct

I just logged into my first Direct account and had the message below waiting for me. On the basis that their creidt card is free and it toook literally 2 minutes to apply I have just ordered a card. Looking forward to my time away!! Unlike the normal offers there is no clause here about having to buy a rip off breakfast so unless that is cheap you can count that out (I am a money saver you know!!)
