    We're still technically in breach of the t's and c's, so we should keep quiet on this.

    I don't know what T&Cs you have broken but I know I have broken none, and I have multiple FlexDirects.

    Within that thread (maybe you didn't get to page 2?) is a link to the Nationwide FlexDirect FAQs, which state......but all will be revealed this coming week when the first interest payments are made.
    I'm actually slightly insulted by this response, for a few reasons.
    Mostly the implication that I don't research and read T&Cs before applying for a new product, and that I don't know how to use Web forums.
    Also the fact that the Nationwide CSA I spoke to has now been proved correct, and the random poster on the Web forum who failed to quote their source has been proven wrong.

    Don't be...it wasn't my intention I can assure you. :)

    Yes, the OP in that thread make a claim that interest wouldn't be paid. But then subsequently a reference was made to the account T&Cs backing the claim up.

    As it turns out, Nationwide have paid it on multiple accounts...but to use their own terminology, they don't "guarantee" to pay it going forwards.

    I opened 2 FlexDirect accounts at the begining of the month...
    I went onto Nationwide, online banking, this morning and I have now got 4 :eek:.
    Unfortunately the money hasn't doubled.....

    I will have to wait until after the long weekend to get this mystery sorted.

    I, too have found an extra Flexdirect account suddenly appearing, along with a card/chequebook/telephone pin and card pin in the post. I now have 6 accounts and this one appeared over 2 weeks after I opened all the others. I only asked for a cheque book with the first one and I had already been given the telephone pin with my earlier accounts. I don't suppose I need to be suspicious, but I am wary and not sure if I should use it. There was no limit of 4 for me, so it is tempting to just carry on.
    Anyone else with similar experiences with any bank?

    Does the fact that I have been paid interest on 2 accounts mean more.

    Got the full interest on £2500 from date paid in.

    Paid the 5% on the 5 days that another £2500 was in the account before I removed it thanks to advice from here.
    Is the interest paid monthly, I dont see any

    Yes, interest is paid monthly and should have been added last day of the month.

    application online for 5th FlexDirect account seems to have been accepted... lets see what appears.... :)

    Anyone have an ordinary free FlexAccount just for the travel insurance? I've never tried these free travel insurance policies, bit worried they would be no good - anyone used and claimed with these???
