Switching bonuses - what next?

I've now worked my way through all the Switching offers out there, bar the latest HSBC one which I don't qualify for.

I was scratting around to find other ways of earning money from account switching and stumbled across a tasty little offer on TopCashback for the Nationwide Flexaccounts.

They're offering £78.75 cashback to open or switch to either of these 2 excellent accounts via TopCashback. I also noticed Santander have an offer on, as does Co-Op. I've missed a trick here. I could have done the Co-Op Switch via TopCashback, got the £100 for switching and got an extra £12 just for applying via TopCashback. Doh!

When I exited the Nationwide application screen, up popped a message offering £100 to anybody who recommends somebody else who opens a new account, plus the person who opens it. It's an offer which run out at the end of the month. That could really add up amongst a family for example.

Apologies if these have been covered in other previous posts.

    The Nationwide refer a friend scheme is covered in another thread here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5280269

    And there's some discussion of the TCB bonus for Nationwide here (the amount changes fairly regularly): https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5167221

    Quick update: I did the online application for the new Nationwide account online this morning before I put my original post up and within 2 hours, the credit had already gone to my TopCashback account! It's been verified, now awaiting payout which is one of the swiftest I've seen on TopCashback, period.


    I used Topcashback for my Santander 123 credit card and Amex Platinum cashback cards as well, that netted in over 80 quid. It's almost too good to be true.....

    Don't worry the actual payout from Nationwide TCB won't be for 12 to 20 weeks or so after it becomes Confirmed!:)
