Britannia - £100 for joining query.

So YorkshireBoy links up the following:
http://www.britannia.co.uk/_site/microsite/affinity/current-account/current-account-plus/index.html#affinity=scfc

Pretty self explanatory. Join & get £100 for meeting the criteria.

So i go onto the britannia website from google.
Click the current accounts list at the top
Click "current account plus" from the centre

& it mentions nothing about £100.

So where does this £100 offer come from? And why can't i see it when going direct through Google & then onto the Britannia site? I can only see it going through YorkshireBoys link.

    Umm, well the obvious question is how the hell do you prove you're a Stoke City fan? Is this only for season ticket holders or something? Do you need to provide some sort of season ticket membership number through application?
  • Good questions, I applied online today through the link didnt ask if I was a Stoke City fan throughout the application just the link from Britannia's website re-directed me to apply,

    No season ticket membership number or proof asked for.

    OP's point is that he can't find a link to the offer from the www.britannia.co.uk homepage.

    I was only reproducing a link I'd seen elsewhere. The only way I can get in is to search their site for the words "affinity" and "SCFC", ie words that appear in the url posted.

    You've not read my opening post that closely.

    The link i gave was the link from YorkshireBoy.

    However if you forget this link & access the Britannia site through google (as i said in the opening post) then you (or at least I) can't find mention of this £100 reward. Only from the link YB gave.

    Unlike First Direct, Halifax, Santander etc - you can access this info from being on their site through Google. Why does Britannia seem to be different.


    That is what i was asking.


    This is the page i get to by going onto the Britannia site through google: http://www.co-operativebank.co.uk/servlet/Satellite/1208245645198,CFSweb/Page/Bank-CurrentAccounts?WT.mc_id=britlink_cap


    EDIT: I keep getting DNS errors when trying to apply.

    In the google search bar type "britannia stoke city" and it autofills "britannia stoke city account".

    Click the first result returned and you're in!

    Yes I read your post ........ just couldn't believe that anyone would have a useable link and then decide to DIY for a fresh one!

    Of course real fans will be accessing the deal from the Stoke City Football Club homepage. ;)

    Scroll down to the "Official Club Partners" section and click "Britannia". :D

    Rather helpfully, this deal isn't confined to the Potteries.

    Britannia/Co-op also cater for Londoners and Wearsiders with their partnerships with Chelsea and Sunderland respectively...
