    Received and already spent! And 500 quid extracted from account [well, instructions given, anyway] leaving the a/c open with just the interest in it.
    Expect the worst & hope for the best...

    any one wanna lend me £500 and make a ten pound voucher?
    If i upset you don't stress, never forget that god aint finished with me yet.
  • Received two lots of vouchers this morning (opened an account in my name and one in my wife's). All money form both accounts now transferred back to a higher interest account. Only problem now is that we don't like close to a John Lewis, will have to wait until we next see family in Sheffield or Norwich.
    Best Freebies:
    iPod Shuffle from Barclaycard
    Sony MP3 CD/Tape/Radio from Sonycard
    £40 for opening FirstDirect current accounts
    £50 of wine from Virgin Wines from Smile current account
    £20 John Lewis Vouchers X2 from HSBC Online Saver
    1000 clubcard points (£40 in deals!) from Tesco Saving account, twice
    £20 Mothercare vouchers for setting up a £10 DD to my son's CTF
    £15 Amazon voucher from amazoncard
    £25 Amazon voucher from new amazoncard 10 months later
    £15 Electric toothbrush heads from Tesco R&R
    £50 cashback X2 from Post Office insurance
  • Got mine too, closed the account online via message and transferred the monies out too. Earnt £1.50 in interest as well!!!
    2p off is still 2p off!

    You're not alone - I haven't received mine yet either.

    However, to be fair to HSBC, I did get the email from them on the 11th January (that some others have referred to) and it did say that they would post the vouchers by 31st January 2007 with a 'Please allow 15 working days for delivery'

    So am quite happy to wait until the end of the month before I get worried :)

    Regards

    I wouldn't worry - I have done these HSBC offers a few times and this was the first time I have received such an email...

    Normally the vouchers just come in the post around the end of the month...

    Thanks for the reassurance - I have had a couple of bad experiences with HSBC, though, so I am not convinced I am going to get this voucher!

    When I rang them to deposit my £500 I was told that it would be sent out on or before 31st January 2007 so I spose I shouldn't be worrying yet, but I can see this dragging out and me having to leave the money with them until 1st March while it all gets sorted out!

  • Hi,

    :-)

    Laughing all teh way to the bank..... opend and closed the same account about 6 months ago and got £20 cash into my current a/c. I will be closing my account again. I like this merry go round.....must say i have been with HSBC 10 years and they have really been good to me and have always compensated for thier errors.

    £50 when there system went down over new year
    £10 for tel banking error
    £20 for customer service inslut
