    The topcashback offer – which seems to be being paid on top of recommend a friend (i.e. you would get £130 in total) – gives you £80 cashback if you apply to open an account (flex account, flex direct or flex plus) by tomorrow and then switch within 45 days. You will have to confirm your switch/account opening with topcashback to validate the cashback – they will email you saying what you need to do. It says nothing about having to switch DDs – but you need to for Recommend a friend.


    You need to supply the referrer with your First name, surname, date of birth and email address.

    Hope that helps.

    I can't see anything in the Ts&Cs about emailing TCB re. the switch :/ I must be overlooking it - can you please tell me where the details are or what I need to do? My application went through fine - all tracked. My switch goes ahead tomorrow. I wrongly assumed that was my bit done.

    I haven't seen any mention of any emails involved in this. However...

    Logging into TCB after applying for the Nationwide account, I get a message asking me to send them them my postcode in order to confirm the 'purchase'. Do I need to do this after my switch completes, or can I just go ahead and do it now?

    I've not had this request from TCB. However, I was an existing Nationwide customer (FlexAccount - opened a FlexDirect through the TCB link). Not sure if that would make a difference. :/

    TCB has reduced - Quidco still offering £80. My father just applied for an additional account with RBS but it will take around a week to get the card through the post + require at least 2 DDs.

    TCB T&C says switch needs to be done within 45 days. Their is no mention about this on Quidco T&C. Can he still go through Quidco, apply for Nationwide account and then within the next 2 weeks apply for the switch?

    Thanks

    Does N/W know what it's doing?

    I applied a while ago and got an email saying I had to take ID to a branch.
    Yesterday, I got a letter saying they wanted my signature only - which I sent off.
    Today I get a similar letter saying they want my signature and ID.

    How complicated can it be to open an account for a person with whom they've had a relationship for 25 years ?

    I just did it when they asked me to. Am pretty sure the switch hadn't then completed.

    Yes - same thing happened to me.

    Got the standard ID email - everyone gets that whether they have been a member for years or are new.

    The letter asks for a signature and two forms of ID as you say - but just go into a branch and show them this and they will look at it check the systems, recognise you are a member and just take the updated signature and the account will be opened that day (and appear in internet banking the next). That was my experience anyway.

    I can understand why this happens - doesn't NW have over 10 million customers and opens around 1,000 current accounts daily? It probably takes a bit of time for the systems to kick in - I remember having home insurance once and getting them to change the address details on the policy document to match the covering letters (correct) seemed to totally floor them!

    Although TCB has reduced their Nationwide cashback offer it will still match the higher Quidco cashback if you lodge a claim through their Highest Cashback Guarantee.
