First Direct Bonus - bonus for sole and joint account?

What is the situation with the bonus from First Direct if I have a sole account and also a joint account?
I opened the 1st account in August (as part of mortgage) and this was a joint account with my wife. We received a £100 bonus last month as that was the offer at the time.
The question I have now is if I transfer across my main sole current account to First Direct and my wife does the same, are we eligible for the £125 bonus each?
I was thinking that if we had transferred across our sole accounts first, we would have received £100 (or £125 now) each, but because we opened the joint account first, does that exclude us from receiving any further bonus when we transfer our sole accounts over?
The T&C say "This offer is only available for people who haven't previously held any account with first direct and is limited to one payment per customer or joint relationship."
Any ideas?
