    Quid co has been offering £70 for a while now, there was a thread along those lines.

    Shame there's a £50 limit on clubcard point cash outs at TCB...

    Thanks for posting this!

    I'm an existing customer, was previously declined for additional accounts. Just opened a new one with the cashback link, got a message saying I was accepted subject to 'additional checks' that would be detailed at the end - at the end it just said they'll send me docs to sign... hmmm!? Hope I get it, could do with the £65!!

    I already have a FlexAccount with Nationwide.

    I assume that if I 'Apply' (rather than 'Upgrade') for a FlexDirect, I will end up with 2 current accounts on my online banking, i.e. 1 x FlexAccount and 1 x FlexDirect?

    Can anyone confirm this?

    You have to apply and tick the box for the switching service to get the cashback.

    New customers only? Or can someone with a FlexDirect account already get an extra one with cashback?

    Same here actually, they wouldn't give me a FlexPlus about a month ago (although I've got a Mortgage, FlexAccount, Select credit card with them), but they've been bombarding me with offers for it now.

    Just been approved for this one, think I'll keep it going until I get the cashback then upgrade to FlexPlus. If they'll let me upgrade it, I assume you can?

    The T&Cs on TopCashBack don't even say you need to switch a certain number of DDs/SOs, it just says you have to fill in a switching form. So it seems you can just switch a dormant account, and not even close the old account, for a free £65/70.

    Nationwide allow up to four current accounts to be opened, I upgraded two old current accounts to FlexDirect and got two new applications approved the first via Quidco which has paid. :)

    Whilst they have said that 5% rate is only guaranteed on one account, seemingly Nationwide are currently on the side of those who do fund up to four FlexDirect accounts with up to 2500.00 each :)
