    So... does this mean that you can switch in a different account every year, and keep getting an annual 2x£100?

    Yes or £50 if the offer is share £100 at the time.

    I'm still waiting for a reply it has only been 4 working days with the bank holiday. I rang them last week and they said a signature form is being posted to me does everyone get that or just people accepted?

    Hi, I referred my other half in May - Nationwide refused the incentive and said I already recommended her last year and we received the incentive payment.

    Now the new terms and conditions says:-

    Condition 10: If you have been recommended by a friend you will only be entitled to one payment under this offer in any 12 month period which starts when your first switch to us completes. This means that if you switch any additional accounts to us in that 12 month period no further payments will be made. The amount of the payment will depend on the offer applying at the time of the recommendation to us and completion of the switch.

    If I refer her again - as its been more than 12 months now will we both be entitled to incentive? It will make no difference if I recommended same person previously and received a payment.

    Thanks
    MS

    Presuming they don't change the T&Cs again, then yes, if it has been more than 12 months since you last received payments then it should be fine. Of course, based on the T&Cs in force in May, you should have been paid this time.

    They are under no obligation to pay out both. Worst case, you just get the £78.75. Or you could just get the £100. Or you might get £178.75. Probably worth trying for the person being referred, although it's a bad deal for the referrer.
    Worst case scenario is now £36.75. Just been on TCB to see if it's available for just opening an account as opposed to switching; it isn't, but the reward is now that sum for 3 different Flex accounts.
    Why would it be a bad deal for the referrer? I thought the referee* applied independently, therefore any referral fee would be unaffected by any TCB/Quidco involvement.


    * I originally typed referree but a spelling mistake was flagged. When I removed the last r, it dawned on me that I have gone my whole life without realizing the source of that word birthday.gif. One wonders why the word umpire was ever coined.

    It would be a bad deal for the referrer because they wouldn't get anything if NW refused to honour the deal on the grounds it was used in conjunction with the TCB/Quidco offer (this restriction is in the T&Cs) and they stand to gain nothing from the TCB/Quidco offer.

    Nationwide have looked after us very well. They confirmed we are to receive £400 and because of an issue they are giving us an additional £25 goodwill payment.

    So Myself and Hubby both opened FlexDirect sole accounts which are due to switch in a week-ish.

    That means we should both receive the RAF payment by the 20th Sept, right?
