    Have I ?
    Payment:
    If all the conditions above are met and the full switch completes successfully, we!!!8217;ll pay the recommender and credit the recommended friend!!!8217;s current account with the offer payment within ** days. If the recommender manages the qualifying account as a third party, such as an attorney or receiver, we!!!8217;ll credit the member!!!8217;s account.

    That wasn't my experience. Pretty much on the limit as stated

    In the terms and conditions the payment is usually issued within 30 days.

    Nationwide tried telling me that I only switched one Direct Debit over, when it was actually two.

    They have forwarded my complaint to the Current Account Switching Team where I!!!8217;m currently waiting for a response back. Bit of a joke really.

    In the T's&C's it says that 2 direct debits are required but it then says recurring card payments don't qualify. Could anyone explain this to me?

    You need to switch an account that has two DD,s in place.
    Recurring card payments, or Continuous Payment Authority (CPA) are not DD's.

    So ifI had two direct debits set up for two charities for £1 each that would count?
