Nationwide switch query

Options
Hi
Last year I referred my OH to switch his current account to Nationwide. He did and we both received £100.
Can he, in return, now refer me to switch another of my current accounts (TSB) to the Nationwide, so we both in effect get a further £100 each? This current account has active direct debits so will meet their criteria.
Thanks in advance.

    Yes, we've done it ourselves. £400 for little to no effort
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    this looks promising, another bonus!
    So I referred 4 friends recently, I can just get any one of them to refer me, and I switch an old account to Nationwide with 2 x DD's and pay in £1000/ month the get the bonus again?
    or do i need to close the account I have first? It's a flexdirect

    Having made 4 referrals recently I'd have thought you'd be more than a little familiar with the incentive T&Cs. Surely you read them before referring your friends, both for your own benefit and for that of your friends?

    But the answer to your question is a partial yes. However, why would you then pay in £1,000 per month? Is it because you haven't read the FlexDirect account T&Cs either?

    Am I missing something on this, or am I just reading it wrong?

    My wife and myself both have current accounts with Nationwide and received the switching bonus on opening.

    This is reading to me that it is possible to switch another account to Nationwide and get the switching bonus again, for both myself and my wife.

    I actually asked Nationwide about a joint account switch and was told, no, you have had the bonus once, so not allowed.

    Would be nice if we can both do it again.
    Has anybody done this, or have I misunderstood?
  • you cant get a bonus from same person twice.
