Is there an available Nationwide joining bonus?

I'm thinking to open the 5% current account with Nationwide, but not 100% sure.

Do they offer any referral bonus?

(I think there used to be a £50 incentive for both the referrer and referee.)

    There never was a referral bonus deal. You can get cashback on Quidco or TCB if you switch from another current account.

    Just had a quick browse and can't see either listed now.

    Have they been pulled, or have I missed them?

    The 5% FlexDirect wasn't available last year, you may be thinking about the FlexAccount but then that doesn't pay any interest at all

    yes the TCB and Quidco offer was pulled last week i think sometime around the 4th/5th. i did it just in time one the 27th june.

    you can still get £25 from opening a nationwide credit card via TCB and quidco.

    it may be worth holding off opening as they might have a new offer available soon you never no.
