Have you had a letter saying they'd received your application? I was sent a form telling me to let them know if I wanted to transfer less than all of my existing payments, and if they hadn't heard from me they'd transfer everything within 14 days iirc.

I don't see anything about an incentive on Nationwide website, has this offer closed?

I took up this offer and got the £50 2 weeks after applying

Yes, it was a limited offer but closed early when maximum subscription was reached.

No because I thought it said in the terms that the £50 payment would be made if you selected the option to transfer all direct debits (without them having to contact you)

see below

6. To be eligible for the offer, if you are a qualifying customer, you must sign on to the Nationwide Internet Bank and complete and submit an "Authorisation for a Current Account Transfer" form within the Internet Bank to transfer all your Direct Debits, standing orders and Bill Payment mandates from an account with another bank or building society to a qualifying FlexAccount by selecting ‘Transfer all my payments for me’. If you choose ‘Send me a list and let me choose’ you will not qualify for this offer.

"Our dedicated Account Transfer team are ready and waiting to start processing your transfer request and do all the hard work for you."

Err, not quite. If you have a bill that's been issued and due to be collected on your old direct debit, it seems this collection will probably fail, and you may get charged late payment fees. I have just had to phone up Virgin Media, who kindly waived their £10 fee, but I'm wondering how many more companies I'm going to have to contact now. Could be a lot of work, and I may end up out of pocket eventually.

I'm a flexaccount customer but also hold an account with NatWest which has one SO to our joint acount and one SO to a NatWest Regular Saver.

So, if I transfer the NatWest account to my flexaccount I get £50, is that right? Do I need to close my NatWest account (and Regular Saver) or just transfer all the DD/SO/Bill Payments? What about the payment in to my NatWest account, does that need to be re-routed to Nationwide?

So many questions!

Gives me a bit of hope as I just did one SO also. I asked on their messaging when I would get it and their wishy washy reply was 'IF' i was eligible I would get it within 8 weeks of switching. I have now asked them for a definitive response as to whether i` am eligible or not

Actually, just checked Nationwide Online and there's a credit of £50 today. yippee!
