First Direct referral coupons

I know or i think i'm in the wrong place to post this but i cannot find the old thread on First Direct referral coupons... basically i have been sent 3 coupons which gives you £50 to swap your bank account over and i receive £35.All i need is your name with forenames and address plus telephone number.To receive the bonus you need to swap your salary into your new account (£1500) per month into 1st Direct.

If someone can point me onto the correct thread to post this .. thanks

OR

If you'd like me to refer you then PM me with your Name (including forename/s) Address with post code and telephone number.(1st 3 to PM rules).

I'm not sure if you also get an extra £50 for opening a new account aswell on top of the £50 received from this referral.

Thanks

    I don't think you will get many on here taking up your offer due to FD's treating of customers re their £10 monthly charge, their non paying of interest on the whole account for the whole month in which you make a withdrawal,etc. But good luck anyway.

    I have been paid interest on my accounts after making withdrawals.Please state facts before posting or at least a pointer towards your claims.

    Plus if you open a savings account which is just a "yes" to the question "would you like a savings account to"asked by CS at 1st direct you don't pay any £10 monthly charge if you deposit £1 in.

    I think the account being referred to is the First Direct e-Saver, I use one to built up funds to transfer over to an ISA.
    # Earn a healthy 5.00% AER (4.89% gross p.a.) variable on every penny in the account
    # instant access to your money* (although no interest is paid on the full account balance in any month you make a withdrawal)

    PS Ive always been very happy with First Direct and would recommend them.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    I'm still with First Direct too (I'm using them as a second current account) and they're a lot nicer to me than my other bank is!
    Indecision is the key to flexibility :)
