£125 First Direct Account Opening Bonus

DonnaKebab

I can not find the link no more for the moneysupermarket £125 sign up bonus as it the deadline has gone.
The page said something like FD calculates the average balance in the account by adding the daily balances together then dividing by the number of days of that month. If average is more than £1500 then you get the bonus.
Can anyone remember if that is correct and when do they class as day one of the account opening?
I initialised the process online a fortnight ago. When the paperwork arrived, it said to set up telephone banking next which I done the other day. I have not set up the internet banking yet. So if I want to work out if I have at least £1500 in for June, which would be the first day the account was open? I am thinking when I done the telephone banking as before then, it would have been impossible for me to move any money into it? Would I be right???

I'm pretty sure that's incorrect. I think you just have to pay in at least £1500 in each month for 3 months. I got the bonus and my average wouldn't have been £1500. Once the bills go out at the start of the month, there's hardly anything left for the most of the month!
