Read the T&C's posted numerous times in this thread including the previous page:

The new customer's account will be credited with £100 within 28 days of the 2nd monthly payment of £1,000

I rang them up today as no £100 as appeared in my account and this is what I was told:

As my account was opened on 13/02/05, I need to deposit £1000 before 13/03/06 (have actually deposited £2000 before this date) and another £1000 before 13/04/06.

Are they just playing for time or do I have a reasonable case for compliant?

T&C's don't define a month so ...

Open account in January
Pay first £1000 any time in February - 1st consecutive month
Pay second £1000 any time in March - 2nd consecutive month

is also inline with the T&Cs

If your account was opened 13/02/06, it seems pretty obvious to me:

Deposit £1000 14/02/06;
Deposit £1000 14/03/06;
Phone Barclays 14/04/06 - i.e. in a fortnight's time!

What's to be gained by trying to cheat the system any more than we already are?!

Can I ask when your second £1k arrived in your account?

Recieved a letter from Barclays comfirming the complaint I made & that it is being looked into

Second £1000 credited to my account on 27 March
£100 bonus credited on 29 March

Could this be a record? Not at all what I expected, given Barclays' performance to date. But, actually, the whole process was entirely hassle-free for me.

My thanks to Martin for the tip.

Must go to the cash machine today and see if mine is there

Have people started closing their accounts now?
