First Direct not paying incentive

Hodds

I transferred my account in mid-June using the account switching service. In mid July I hadn't been paid, so queried it and was told there was a 14 day payment cycle and I would be paid within 28 days. I was credited with £100 this week, but having used the £125 link (they had confirmed £125 incentive when I originally queried it) I've had to query it again.

I won't switch again as I've found their service very good, with phone calls answered quickly by 'real' people, and they've already saved me quite a bit on my overdraft costs compared to Barclays' new 'clear' fee structure!

All you need to do is transfer at least £1000 within 3 months

Salary or income which is not the same as a transfer.

They have no way of telling if a payment to your account is a salary or income therefore any incoming payment of £1k or greater will qualify.

No need to go that far.

MSE news from 2012: MoneySavingExpert.com to join the MoneySupermarket.com group

noh

Or even closer scroll down to the bottom of this page where it states

"MoneySavingExpert.com is part of the MoneySupermarket Group""

I've satisfied all their conditions including moving at least 2 direct debits, if that was indeed required, and I've not yet got the £125 bonus. It may be time for me to query it.
