    Thanks for the tip

    If you don't believe me read the magazines 3 for £1, or the "free massage" or "free haircut" type things.

    You have to expect problems sometimes.
    It's a bit like ebay.

    You can get some great deals but you have to expect the occassional hiccup.

    Yippee received my £100 today - 38 days after my 2nd £1000 payment went in. Thanks to Martin and all who gave advice along the way.
  • Just want to check if I will qualify for the £100, I applied in time (18/1/06) and my account was opened on the 16/2/06 I paid the first £1k in on the 3rd March and the second on the 3rd April.

    Just not sure if I needed to pay the money in in Feb rather than March or just within 30 days of opening.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I think you are fine.
    You should wait 28 days from the second deposit for your payment.
    After that ring them up and ask where it is.

    Just got ours today too and I've just transferred it out.

    We go away tomorrow (Travelodge £10 deals for 3 nights in Cornwall) so can now take a bit of spending money out of our £200.

    Thanks Martin!

    OH got his, we're both happy now, him 'cos he's rich and me 'cos he's stopped bugging me about when he's gonna get it.

    Thanks again MSE
    I haven't got one!

    Payday for me today as well :j

    I have to say that I had not a single problem with the application, and I hadn't expected the £100 until the 20th. On to rescue the bonus into an account that pays decent interest (am not bothering with the Regular Saver account since I am making massively more interest from matched betting :cool: )
