opened my account in Feb first payment made in march, second went in this month, my understanding is that I should recieve something twenty eight days from now is that correct?

From the conversation i had with Barclays customer services the other week, it goes like this: You have an account opening date. Make sure you pay in £1000+ in the month following that, then the same in the month after. You will get your £100 28 days after the second month ends.

In my case, account opened 2/2/06, 2x £1000 paid in on 10th of Feb and March, then my £100 should arrive on 30th of April.

A large stink will ensue if it doesn't!

I paid my money in on Feb 13th and March 13th approximately. After a friend who also applied for the account after me got the £100 first, I phoned Barclays. This chasing up paid dividends as I now 24 hours later have the money. It was due apparenly on April 12th, so nice to get it early. I do think my phone call helped though.

Thanks to Martin from me too :j

Got my £100.00 with no hassle. I think this is the easiest £100.00 I ever made so a big thanks to Martin for this hot tip. :j

My DH and I applied at the same time - he got his £100 yesterday, I'm still waiting in anticipation . . . .

Thanks everyone!

Yes, all worked to plan. £100 plus 04p interest!

Many thanks

I took up the offer and hope to get my £100 shortly. I haven't experienced the poor customer service yet but one thing this has shown me. I haven't been in a bank for at least 10 years and most likely much more, but I went in to pay in the £1000 and how archaic it seemed. Like something out of the middle ages, I shall stick to my telephone and internet in future for my banking.

I applied before the closing date and was told that I would have to go into a Barclays Branch to show ID. I went in and queued up, only to be told when I eventually reached the desk, that I had to go to a different queue. When I eventually got to the assistant, he said that I was too late. I showed him the letter I had received which was dated after the 19th, but he said I was still ineligible. I just gave up, but I have been telling everyone I know not to touch Barclays Bank.

Opened my account at the end of February and £100 already credited, I had already made a note to chase the bonus but for once I didn't need to! That's a great offer and an easy £100.
