Unofficially? The answer's the same unless you are really lucky. Indeed Nwide have sometimes not given the 5% interest rate even after a break of 12 months as their system seems to err on caution and people have to remind them that they are now re-eligible.

For me it was enough to just not get the 5% interest for 12 months. I still had FlexDirect accounts in that time (opened to get various cashback offers), and I got a letter a couple of months ago saying that I'd only get the 5% interest on one account. Since then I've received interest again.

sometimes it isn't even guaranteed. I'm not saying cashbacks are a scam - they are not, I'm just saying err on the side of caution.

Are they ever guaranteed?

I've had 2 x £80 for Flexacc's, and just had 1 x £75 for FlexDirec account all on the same TCB acc.

Over what time period? Did you get refer-a-friend for more than 1?

I've done one switch to NW & got both the RAF and TCB payouts

Only tried one RAF with TCB and one with Q (1 myself and 1 for partner).

All have been within the last 12 months-ish.

So when you say 2 flex accs you mean 1 per person? -_ or you're closing one & opening another?

Yes, one FA per person, and more recently one FD per person, no closing although I may switch one away soon.

The TC/QC cashback amount for opening a Nationwide Flexdirect or Flexaccount is currently around £35. Is this likely to go back to £70 to £80 it has been in the past or has it been at this amount for several months?


Thanks

Who can say - just keep an eye out.

Its better to use recommend a friend – where both parties get £100 – and then use TCB or Quidco to apply from once referred when you might get the extra £35 (or whatever) on top.

The recommend a friend is guaranteed if you follow the rules and switch two DDs etc – the TCB/Quidco payments can be a bit more hit and miss.

I've previously been recommended and had £50, so I can't be recommended again. I've had cashback via TC and QC before but I've read of others doing it more than once.

I'm currently trying to do RAF with some relatives but they say they're too busy to sort it out :sad:
