    £50 from quidco qhich has already paid out. going to nip into the branch and cancel it I think... the 'welcome to hsbc' letter is dated the 10th so I don't see a problem as it's still less than 14 days..

    It should be fine as long as you're within the 14 days. They were quick to pay out weren't they?!

  • Well I applied on the 16th nov... they paid out a few days ago, I had the stuff asking for signatures etc and today I got the pack through saying welcome to hsbc.. had the card a few days ago.. :confused:
    Do you think that counts as being in the 14 days??

    I think that account has a notice period before you can downgrade it to a standard free account. It wouldn't pay out £50 cashback if you could just cancel it
