Being referred to Nationwide AGAIN to get another £100?

Hi I'm with Nationwide at the moment. A family member invited me and we both got £100 each. I heard he can invite me once again even though I currently bank with them and I can get £100 all over again as long as I switch another account over to Nationwide. I'm just completing my application now and it's asking if I'm a new or existing customer. Obviously I'm an existing customer however to be eligible for the £100 do I need to choose 'new customer'?

Thanks

    I think that you have been misinformed, see: https://www.nationwide.co.uk/about/recommend-a-friend/terms-and-conditions

    "11. The recommended friend is entitled to only one payment even if they switch more than one account to us or if more than one recommender recommends them. If the recommended friend has received a payment under any other Nationwide Recommend a Friend offer, then they are not eligible to receive a payment under this offer."

    That seems like a great way to make money, in fact if it works you should definitely post this on our 'Fraud' board where we discuss clever ways to set up Ponsi schemes, guides on Phoenixing and various ways to hide income from HMRC.

    Not only am I unable to fathom what you expected as a reply, it's also amusing you thought Nationwide, the largest building society in the world, would not have considered someone trying to redeem their offer twice.

    No - but you can recommend them if they haven't previously switched in, even though they have had a referrers reward.. and both get another £100.
