  • Have a look on Quidco or Topcashback and have a read of their requirements on there for each bank will probably be the easiest way to find out.

    I know for sure Nationwide FlexDirect does as I opened one only last week netting myself £78 (when it pays). All thats required is a minimum £1k pay in a month but I cycle through several accounts just keeping the credit earning balance in there.

    In a word, no.

    The T&CS clearly state you must switch in order to receive the Quidco bounty.
    Cashback will only be paid to customers who are accepted for a FlexDirect account and who switch to Nationwide from a non-Nationwide current account using their Current Account Switch Service[url]

    Co-op £60 cashback is "for an approved and opened new Co-op Bank account", but why on earth miss out on extra £100 for switching?

    Quidco terms say you need to transfer to it as your main account to get £60.
