Lloyds £50 incentive - I got it!

In a nutshell, they refused to give me the "£50 for switching your main bank account to us" because I had not specifically switched through their "account switching unit" (because I could easily switch my salary via my employers payroll system, and I wanted to keep my old account open to use it as a household / billing account).
I had even checked in the branch with a chap who told me I would still be eligible for the £50 offer.
Anyhoo, letter arrived this morning saying they were sorry, and were crediting my account with the £50.
Just thought I would share. It's the first time I've really complained about anything like this, and I didn't expect they would back down.

greypilgrim,
What sort of lloyds current account was it?
I just opened a classic account to take advantage of the new reg saver they have and no one mentioned anything about £50. The classic account I have opened says I have to pay £500 in per month. Do you think this is the sort of account that would make me eligble for the £50?
Thanks for any replyIt is unwise to pay too much but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, all you lose is a little money... that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot...it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better (John Ruskin - 19 ctry author, art critic & social reformer)0 -
babe ruth,
The lloyds £50 offer finished quite a while ago, but it very rarely paid out. Don't think you'd be eligible.
