A and L £50

Anyone give me any idea roughly how long it took to get your £50. I paid my first £500 in just over 2 weeks ago and wondered how much longer I'll be waiting?
Thanks

    I think they advise up to eight weeks from a/c opening but in my case the credit occurred exactly four weeks after I opened my account in September.

  • Wasn't long. About 6 weeks from opening the account and 2 or 3 from depositing the £500

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    On their website they will advise you about 8 weeks so if you haven't received within this period better to give them a ring.

    They do say it can take up to 8 weeks and in some cases it does take that. I have recommended a lot of people and, in my experience it's paid out quicker than the 8 weeks but there's no set pattern as I have had referrals paid out I only sent in 2 weeks previously and have also had ones not pay out til nearly 8 weeks that I sent at exactly the same time so I wouldn't start worrying until the 8 weeks are up. They won't actually chase it up for you either until after the 8 weeks are up so just sit tight and I'm sure it'll pay out in the next few weeks.

    I only work part time and earn under £500 per month.Does it matter what way I put my money in the account to make it over the set ammount?example my sons housekeeping paid to me by dd or just putting some cash in each month to reach target

    Hi funnyguy,

    It doesn't matter at all how you put the money in - the only stipulation is that money paid into your a&l current account is not paid in from any other a&l account in your name. Other than that you can pay it in by standing order, direct debit and cash - they all count. It does not have to solely be wages. Also you can take it right back out again if you need it - the only stipulation is that it is paid in - there is no rule on how long it has to remain in the account. Hope that helps - also PM me if you need referred for the bonus money.

    Regards

    Michelle

    Hi funnyguy,

    When I said bonus money I meant the extra I offer - if you look on the referrers board you'll see that's a lot more than £10!! lol ;)
