Barclays Current account £100 incentive !

sirboz

i am just about to open a barclays current account, you have to fund it with £1000 for 2 months then they give you £100, not bad ?

Anyone know if there is a referral scheme for these and any volunteers ?

i'm going to call tomorrow to make sure you don't have to swap salary, dd's, etc.

I read the T&C's, just says you have to pay in £1000 for 2 months, too easy surely, hey let us all know what you find out

Sounds good. I cant see anything about transferring salary, etc over so it looks like an easy £100 is coming my way

Brilliant offer - well spotted.

Please note you have to open online, see here

If your new year's resolution is to switch banks, our online offer could be for you. When you apply for a Barclays Bank Account online you could be eligible for £100 cash.

This does indeed look easy. More paperwork to file though!

question:

with all those offers flourishing, how opening, closing current accounts affect your credit score?

we are saving for a mortgage you see...

Just checking the Barclays website and it appears they have a second offer as well. If you refer someone else you get £50.

So, if there are two of you (I haven't read all the small print), a married couple could get £250 out of this deal - couldn't they?

Tim_L could you stick it on rpoints forum - I got a harsh 'red card' yesterday and have been banned for 2 days ! !, I have appealed to FIFA but they are not having any of it ! !

Where does it say about referrals - i couldnt find that bit and the Mrs Boz banks there already

I don't think you can do both. The referal info can be found on the FAQ and to do that you need to fill in a form and apply in the bank. You can only get this £100 online.
