First direct £!00 incentive

Has the terms and conditions of the offer changed? It appears that the incentive doesn't require two direct debit switches from an old account any longer and a £1000 payment at any point within 3 months of account opening to avail of it?

The terms and conditions seem long winded, anyone able to confirm?

Thanks

    Would also like an answer to this, I'm about to switch too.

    Can they take back the incentive if you stop the £1000 pay ins?

    They seem very clear and concise to me. Here they are in full...
    Open a 1st Account then switch your banking to us using the Current Account Switch Service and pay in at least £1,000 within three months of your account opening and we'll add £100 to your account.

    This offer is limited to one payment per customer or joint relationship. Incentives are paid within 28 days of all criteria being met.

    We can only offer this to people who haven't previously held any account with first direct.

    We reserve the right to refuse any application for a product or service. All credit is subject to status. We reserve the right to extend or withdraw this offer at any time.
    You're really only interested in the 1st paragraph aren't you?

    I've reproduced the full T&Cs above. Do you see anything about them being able to claim back the £100 once paid?
