    I got my £100 no problem.

    £1,000 paid in within 5 days of getting the account.
    £1,000 paid in 31 days later.
    £100 received just under 4 weeks later.

    But I'm closing the account anyway as they only gave me a mickey mouse Connect Card and not a Visa Delta card.

    There is no such condition in the terms and conditions.
    They are just trying to fob you off.

    Fight your ground, show them the Ts&Cs and ask them where that particular condition is.
    Go through their complaints procedure.

    I am no expert in property but have lived in many types of homes, in many locations and can only talk from experience.
