Had our applications weeks ago but didn't do anything with them is it too late to start the process now?

I've never had a letter confirming I'll get the £100, but I did credit a 3rd £1000 to my account in case the first two were too close together.....and I got a massive 6 pence interest today...wooohooooo.

I wonder if anyone will actually ever get that mythical £100....... :-)

Did you actually complete the application?
What is you account opening date?

Definitely.
I have it in writing so that is a legally binding contract.

WOW i got a whole 1p interest on my £1.000's credited now I'm in the difficult position of working out how to spend it :rotfl:

You could use it in a Public Convenience -- well, everybody seems to be saying that this Barclays account is s---, don't they...?

You're a bit behind the times oscarhugo, Public Conveniences now charge 10 or 20p!!!

A few more months of barclays interest and you'll be able to go!

You shouldn't feel the need to go, some may say that Barclays have been taking the p*** since this offer started :rotfl:

I received my account opened letter, dated 31 Jan 2006. Due to problems getting £1000 together in Feb I didnt manage to complete the £1000 in until 2 March 2006. I then deposited a further £1000 on 10 March.

Do people agree that I have just missed the first month deadline for the first £1000? If so, did the t&c state the two deposits had to be within the first 2 months? Or would it be two deposits in any two conesecutive months?

Also, has anyone noticed online bank transfers taking a long time into their Barclays account? I have never known a transfer take 5-6 days.

2 working days only from a smile account and a similar time the other way. Possibly the bank from which the £1000 was transferred is extracting the urine!?

Would not surprise. Happened three times to and from the Halifax. Halifax to Cahoot has been a constant 3 days.
