HSBC New account

wairds

I seem to recall an offer on MSE that if you applied for an account money.co.uk you would receive £175 when successful. Can anybody recall this and if so the details? Many thanks.

I believe it's an expired offer now.

But how you've described it is exactly that...

wairds

Many thanks for your response.

The reason I ask is that I have just opened a new account through money.co.uk but HSBC are denying all knowledge and I wanted to supply some evidence if possible.

Is there anywhere to contact somebody at MSE directly?

No you would need to contact someone at money.co.uk as the offer was through them.

When did you apply for it?

Mid August 2019

That's concerning. I am still waiting for the £175 after opening my account in mid August. The transfer completed on the 31st August so I was going to wait 30 days from then before calling, but thinking I might check now to see if it actually tracked..

What did the T’s and C’a state about the bonus being paid?

It would be within XXX days of switch completion.

Plutonomics

T&Cs said 30 days, so plenty of time yet. Though it is a bit strange if HSBC deny all knowledge, and on previous offers people have commented how quick the bonus was paid. Guess it will be a case of wait and see anyway, hoping for the best. :beer:

By way of an update. I found an article on the web regarding this offer, forwarded it to them and consequently HSBC are going to honour it and deposit the £175 in the account after 30 days from full switching.

My thanks to all who responded.

My £175 just arrived this afternoon, I didn't have to call or chase them either. Very good, way less than the mentioned 30 days.
