    Waited for December then called to make an appointment at Nationwide - turns out they have stopped the Save to Buy now the Help to Buy has started. So have missed my chance at benefiting from both. So annoyed, didn't think that they might end the other with no warning :cry:
    But as per previous posts, there are many better places to put your money than a non-HTB cash ISA anyway, so it may have been a blessing in disguise....

    I have read through the previous page and I may be wrong but it doesn't look like there's a way I could make £1,000 on around £17k over the next 6 months?

    What makes you think anyone suggested you could? Mind you, you could try roulette, or the 3.15 favourite in Newbury?

    this would have been the bonus with the nationwide ISA that is no longer available, which is why I'm so gutted as it's really not a blessing in disguise in this case sadly

    If you are referring to the cashback from a Nationwide Save To Buy Mortgage: that's also available to HTB ISA holders. But it comes with a bunch of T&Cs, and who knows whether it would be the best mortgage deal you can find, anyway.

    Introduce 10 people to a Nationwide current account?
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
