Proud to say, my £25 has also been deposited into my account. my £100 was deposited on 18/03/05, so if anybody did it near this date, be in for a suprise in the next few days!

waiting game has paid off!
Phew,

if the £100 was in the account at the end of March is there any reason to keep it in now until the £25 is paid?

What does everyone think... better to be safe than sorry??

I would leave it there until the £25 arrives!

This was when they changed the terms&conditions for those using the Times advert code (from deposit £100, to you must mandate your salary) Very cheeky if you ask me! I sounds like they were very rude to people who tried to sign up around this time!

mate, what you do is, keep the money in there until end of April, beginning of May.

First Direct said that the £100 has to be deposited into the account within 3 months of the opeing of the current account. so, if you've deposited the initial £100 into the account at the end of march, its within the 3months of the offer being introduced.

so, i recogn, keep your £100 in the account, and they will deposit the Joining Incentive of £25 into your account within the next 28 days of the money depositing your first direct current account.

my £25 was put into my account 18 days after i deposited my £100 into the account.

Worth the wait,
hope this helps!
