    The problem is they have dangled the carrot now.

    It'll be the 1st Account next you watch ;-)

    It is working with me. Opened the new cash ISA and have found the service to be excellent (including a transfer completed in a week).

    I would no doubt open their 1st Account. Only one problem, I won't reach their income requirement until sometime next year (hopefully!) :(

    glider, can you keep another account open and cycle money on pay day by faster payments? that way you can make it up to the 1500 requirement

    on another note....i got my £100 joining bonus today :D

    True, but you probably would have to lie about your income?

    as far as i know there isnt a minimum income in the T&C's - just that you have to pay in £1500 per month to avoid the £10 per month accout charge.

    The guide on the main MSE site gives the pre-tax salary £23000 as a guide number to see if you would deposit enough without having to faff around

    I guess you're right! You do need to hope that they don't filter requests based on the income you enter however! Either way it doesn't hurt finding out :)
