First Direct transfer incentive

Hi,

Does anyone know if 2 people in 1 house can have this offer?

I transferred with them about 1.5 years ago.

My husband would like to do the same. We don't have any joint bank accounts.

This is what the website says:

"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."

    I don't see any ambiguity in what the website says.
    As your old account isn't a joint account, then yes, your husband is entitled.

    You wont get the offer since you already bank with them.

    If you husband doesn't have any relationship with First Direct then he can switch any bank account he has to FD and get the switching offer.

    Remember he must use First Directs switching service and pay in £1000 a month to get the £100.
    Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:

    You don't have to pay in £1000 per month to get the switching incentive. It's £1000 within the first 3 months of the account being opened.
  • Wasn't sure if he'd he allowed as we are in joint relationship and said offer limited to one per customer or joint relationship.

    Thanks

    I think you are just in relationship.
    What they mean is joint relationship with FD.
  • Great, thanks everyone
