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.

Short answer, yes.

Longer answer, this is a classic case of reading the T&Cs to see what's not stated...as well what is. If this offer was a once only £50 the T&Cs would say so, and they don't.

So in theory, you could get £200...if you have 4 friends!

I have opened a Nationwide account yesterday but just found out about this cashback
The account is not active yet since I have to go to a branch for ID checking, do you think I can cancel and re-do the account through TCB?

You probably don't have to go to branch with ID. Nationwide have seemingly lost control of their systems and in the next day or so you'll probably find that you get another email to say the account is open.

Don't cancel it, keep it as a donor account for a switch to another bank.

Open a second Nationwide account, this time making use of TCB and a referral from a friend. You are officially allowed up to 4 Nationwide current accounts.

That's been my experience too for someone I referred (who also went through Quidco). We were worried that a branch visit might prevent the cashback being paid.

Their account has since been opened, funded, and several transactions made.

From memory, the request to visit branch came in an email and said it was their policy that all account holders new to Nationwide must visit branch with ID. We're hoping this isn't actually the case.

Thank you very much for the tip! I thought it was valid just for new customer but it seems it's valid also for existing customers!

I will use this one as a donor and create a new one with TCB, thank you!

This is the bit of the email regarding ID checking I received from Nationwide yesterday after the registration of a FlexDirect:

What happens next?
We need you to visit one of our branches to show us some ID. Our website will help you find your nearest branch.

Click here to find out what forms of ID we can accept.

We'll also send you a letter within the next few days confirming this.

A newbie to all this Quidco stuff (I joined today). The estimated payment date before applying was April 29 but now that I have applied it is by magic been kicked down the road to June 15. Has this happened to others?

Also I have been accepted for the account but got the email saying take this and that ID to branch. This is the first time this has happened to me, everywhere else I have applied for going back years always verify me instantly online no problem - i've lived in the same house since 1972.

This is what I/DH has got for the last 3 N'wide accounts, and we have already been with them for years.

Must just be a generic email thing.

I was paid £50 for the RAF today so we will see in a few months whether the cashback turns up.
