    To get the RAF offer do you need to follow a link from the email or do use just need to fill the form out?

    I haven't tried the RAF this time (have done it previously on my last FlexDirect), but did go through TCB. My full switch to a FlexDirect is going through on 17th March, so we'll see.

    I look forward to hearing how you get on with Quidco (mine tracked with TCB on 13th Feb). .

    How long did the cashback take to track when you applied for the Nationwide current account?

    Thanks

    Not long - the same day, perhaps the next. Certainly it should be recorded with TopCashBack whether it's tracked or not. Go through that process and you will see whether it's on their system or not. I would certainly put in a claim for non-tracking. If it isn't on the TCB system can you open up another Nationwide account? (ie will it be reflected on your credit report).

    Mosler: do you know what to do with TCB to test whether it's recorded/make a claim?

    Are you the referrer or the person being referred?


    If the latter, there's no link to follow. Indeed, the email received by the referrer (confirming the RAF has been lodged) merely suggests you might want to forward the email to the person being referred. There's no application link within the email, just links to the offer T&Cs.


    BTW, if you are the person being referred, your referrer should be answering these questions for you. That's certainly what I do when I'm referring others for the account...and their (and my) £50!

    I'm going to try the RAF and TCB

    I've received cashback from TCB plus Amex referral bonuses for the same card application

    Just wondering...
    1) is it possible to be qualified for the RAF if I had previously referred my OH for the FlexDirect account and then switched the account back in January to Halifax?

    2) Also when you say there is a max of 4 Flex Accounts, does this include accounts that have been switched out in the past? This is because I had a flex account I used as a donor account for YB.
    3) Lastly, would I be eligible for the 5% interest rates if I have had a FlexDirect account and switched that out in the past (ie January 2015)?
    Sorry my questions seem loopy.
    £47605.33 outstanding in C.C (£8000 Interest free till January 2025)

    Any one person can only be referred once by someone else and qualify (i.e. any number of Nationwide customers can refer a person but only the first person who referred them - as long as they haven't received more than £500 in RAF payments - will get the £50 nomatter how many switches the other person does).

    Up to 4 Nationwide current accounts can be held by a person at any one time. Closed/switched accounts don't count.

    You must have not held a FlexDirect account in the last 12 months to qualify for another promotional 5% rate (officially).

    If the person being referred opens more than one account and has been recommended more than once, would they get a payment for each account opened?
    I've looked at the terms but can't find an answer.
