Have any of you successful applicants had your salaries paid into your account and have taken up their overdraft offer?

If so what did you do? Ask for it or was it applied automatically once your salary was paid in?

Thanks!

I didn't ask for an overdraft but I am getting my salary paid into it.

I don't think I would have got one if I applied - I think I'll apply for one in 6 months when my salary has been regularly going in.

Hi

Received welcome pack and pin numbers this morning:D

I am currently with Openplan-Woolwich and pleased with them, been with them for 6 years+ but they wouldnt allow OH to be put on there as he didnt pass the credit check ...have checked his files and nothing but he has no history at all. As im disabled and cant get out much its a pain giving him my card to draw cash ect, so wont have to do that anymore;)

I have all my DD's set up with the woolwich and would like to keep that account open. Should I move just a set amount each month so they can see money going in and out I might move a dd over once a month as I dont want to !!!! it all up.

OMG! I have a debit card, I have a debit card!!!
I never actually thought it would happen other than my pre-paid Quidity card.

This is my dilemma too. How to switch everything over so that it runs smoothly and I don't get into trouble with dds going out and no cash being there.
Unfortunately this is the wrong week for it to all go through as it was the week that NTL took my DDs so I have absolutely no cash at all and we are living on Pasta until next Tuesday LOL

Hi, It actually just pays the £1 at first. I asked on the quidco thread and apparently, the £50 goes on your quidco account as a separate transaction and is paid out only after your account is all up and running.

Thanks for the information. Any idea how long it will take to be credited?

Another great thing about citibank!!!
I reccomended three family members through the internet banking.....if they get the account (most seem to and mine all have good credit-just me whos bad ), They get 6 bottles of wine and so do I....hmmmmm what ever am I going to do with 18 bottles of wine........... :beer: :rotfl:

*maybe you could come drink it with me saint *

Hmmm am getting a little worried about the whole quidco thing now... see #2270 in the link below...

Although I cannot see anything to back this up on quidco *puzzled*, but would explain the pound thing

Oh well got me a debit card and quidco would have been a bonus....I have already decided against having salary paid into this account (the natwest account I got is with a branch close to me).

I'm not sure how long it will take for the £50 to go on. I applied for the account on the 23rd nov and the £1 was paid at the end of december. My citibank account has been up and running for around 10 days now but no sign of quidco updating with the £50 yet :sad: hopefully it wont be too much longer, but I will come back and let you know as soon as it goes on!
