Fineco Bonus not paid

Comments

  • Anyone still not had their Fineco Bonus ?

    I opened the account on the 8th May and have not received my opening bonus or my subsequent referral bonus ( to my other half who has also not received her bonus)

    I had the 19th June in mind as the deadline or did they move it on to July ?

    Same worries here!

    Heard nothing from them, ever, about the bonus - not even the question of which bonus was wanted - the cash or the free trades.

    I opened an account via a referral and my other half did the same with my referral - so that's 3 bonuses we're owed between us.

    No word yet from fineco though.

    Last word on the referral thread was this from Luke2010



    Which confirms your 19th June recollection.

    PS thanks for starting a discussion thread about this - it'll keep Browntoa happy if it means the referral thread isn't cluttered up with chat!
    PPS their phrasing about a 'pop-up' prompted me to log back in after turning ghostery and adblocker off, just in case they were blocking said 'pop-up'. But no, still no pop-up.
    Glad its not just me then...I have messaged them..
    In the prevoius promo I received 2 x bonus from Fineco.
    You will receive an email with the bonus confirmation message not immediately from Fineco but some weeks after the end of the procedure.

    In the promotion rules page you can view the period within which the message will be sent to you.

    I funded my account at beginning of May and I have had emails from Fineco today re Bonuses. I have logged onto the client area and chosen my bonuses (both from being referred and from referring others). They say these will be in my account within 8 days

    I had one email this morning thanking me for referring a friend and saying I could choose a bonus.

    But I had joined via a referral and subsequently referred a friend, so I expect two bonuses. And I expected the second one to be thanking me for referring a friend, not the first!

    What was the wording of your two emails? Perhaps they all say thanks for referring a friend, even if you are the friend?

    All three were exactly the same. When I logged on I got the chance to choose the bonus for when I used someone's referral code. I logged off and logged on again and was then able to select bonus for all 3 people that used my referral code. Seems odd that I had to log on twice or maybe it was just bad timing on my part as to when I logged on first.

    Thanks for that info. I just logged back in again to find a second bonus pop-up, so same as you, except that i only got the one email. So I'm fully 'bonussed' now, subject to the credits appearing. Just need to remember whose referral code I used (and which worked, as I had three attempts at opening the account) and whether they were offering me a share...(!)

    My 2 bonuses in my account now too. Just need to transfer out now...

    And perhaps close the account as I've not yet seen or read anything about it that makes me think its worth keeping, for me anyway.

    Did you go for £ or Euro debit card. I went for Euro card and found it very useful for ATM and contactless payments when I was in Lille last month (I transferred £ to Euro before I went at a very good rate and transferred the balance I had left back into sterling when rate was favourable to me :)) so I will probably keep mine with minimal balance until I go to Europe again
  • Bonuses paid

    Over £2K made from bank switches and P2P incentives since 2016 :beer:
