    Thanks everyone who responded! Just wondering if it went straight into your account or was it a cheque in the post?

    It's a credit direct into your account marked as 'joining incentive'

    I reproduced them in post #4 above.


    But they're exactly the same as the standard offer, except if the affiliate was MSE/MSM the amount changed.

    Has anyone done this for the £150 bonus? What's the timeline for the bonus to be paid to you? They haven't mentioned it to me at all during phonecalls preparing for the switch.

    I got my £150 bonus 7 days after my 1st months wages went in, (as t+c's state you only get the bonus after you pay in £1000 - within 2 months of account opening I think). they wont mention anything during calls, as long as you clicked the link and it showed £150 on the FD website (I had to use chrome to get the link to work as internet explorer was only showing the £125 offer when link was clicked) then have £1000 go in the account you will get it
