Get 12 Bottles of Wine free when you sign up for Smile Current Account

I've been banking with Smile for 3 years now, and would happily recommend them ahead of ANY other UK bank.

Absolutely fantastic customer service which has never, ever left me feeling disappoitned or frustrated.

The best in the business, and well worth a small monthly charge.

They are excellent, and you don't need to pay a monthly charge, unless you are on the Smile More account.

I'm a student and I don't earn £1500 a month on my summer job, let alone in the term time. Do you reckon they'd still let me open it? 12 free bottles of wine are calling me...

BexTech

You don't need to earn £1,500 per month for the account, you can open it earning £100 per month, as long as there is a regular wage/benefit/pension etc going in, only if you don't have regular payment direct into the account going in, do you have to pay in by cash or cheque etc £1,000 per month.

However you won't get the free bottles of wine unless you do pay in £1,500 before 1st Oct 2006.

Hi I am new to money saving and am interested in the free wine, but when went on to the site to sign up for Smile Current Account it wanted to know details of my present current account. Do I have to give these and do I have to swap my present current account to Smile to take advantage of the offer, or am I able to simply open a new one? Any one know? Kind Regards Tina

BexTech

You have to give those details yes, no you don't have to swap from your present account.

T.F.S.B.I.G.W.S.

I have had an account with Smile for 2 and a half years and can more or less recommend them. But - no wine for me; not when I joined and certainly not now. Oh well - no point whining about it I suppose

I see Martin is again mentioning the SMILE current account free case of wine offer. I opened an account in December 2005 during the previous run of this offer and I'm still waiting for my wine, despite countless frustrating calls to SMILE and Virgin Wines.

I did the same I went online & made loads of complaints I finally got my wine in March after joining in Novembers offer. Go to there homepage & to the customer service section & make an online complaint .I made 2 emails & it was finally sorted got nowhere with phone calls , marketing dept seem to hold the strings.

I have to say my favourite bank for friendliness customer service & reliabliity is FIRST DIRECT ive been with them for 12 yrs & SMILEs customer service is rubbish compared to First Direct.

I can't find any details on the Smile site about the content of the case of wine beyond the fact that there are 12 bottles.
Can anyone who signed up earlier give details (e.g. is the wine red or white or mixed; from which country(ies)and, if you've drunk the bottles, what's your verdict verdict on the quality?
I guess I may be expecting too much from a freebie:j but a few bottles of 1982 Bordeaux 1st growth would be a pleasant surprise:drool: :drool:
While I'm waiting I'll pop down to Oddbins to open a bank account:D

You can actually buy the Smile wine case direct from virgin wines , I am a virgin customer just type in the search smile case & it should list the current selection , I only had one bottle to complain about all the rest were drinkable & if you do not like a particular bottle the cash is credited back to a wine account in your name.
