...but I am planning to get £50 from them.
Direct mail offered that amount if I open a new Direct Savings account with them funding it by cheque for a minimum of £500. Offer available to new customers only and account must be opened and funded before the 31/08/07.
Now apart from the 'new customers' bit I do not see a reason for anyone that can lock £500 for 28 days (this long it will take to the 'gift' to be credited). The return irrespective of the interest rate seems very good to me.
There is no need to actually receive the direct mail offer - call 0800 376 6262 to apply over the phone and good luck!

I called and they said it is a condition of the offer that you've received the direct mail
