Hi guys,

Just a quick note to let you know we've been looking into this for a few days, and will be putting an official note up soon.

Still checking out the refer a freind scheme, but the basic £100 offer is available for simply depositing £1000 for 2 consecutive months, no salary switch required.

Good one eh?!

And it seems as though you can deposit £1,000, withdraw it and then re-deposit in month 2. Could you include this in your research, please?

True but that will take a few days each way which is then money lost in interest :-)

Agreed, but if Barclays pay £100 for a deposit of only £1,000 that's a 10% return over only two months!

You're not getting better than that, are you

LOL, you are too smart for your own good!!

PM stands for "Private Message" or "Personal Message" - e.g. you can send me a PM, and if you click on any poster's name, you can see a PM option.

The idea of depositing cash then immediately withdrawing it probably won't work as it will take some time for the cash to register. There's very little interest loss on two BACs transfers a month so I'd just do it online personally.

If you click on my name in the top left then a drop down menu will appear. The option to send a PM is under that.

Ywah that'd be fine - there's no way they could tell if it were new money or not.
