    I believe you still have time to set up two direct debits to go out this month, and pay in £800 and join blue rewards as well. But, don't quote me on that :)

    As far as I know this is how it works

    month one - you join blue rewards it doesn't matter on what date

     month 2 - on the 2nd the fee is taken (also of course in subsequent months going forward)

    month 3 - the system checks if you have met the requirements  in month 2 and if so pays you the reward

    and so on

    Just want to check something with the Blue Rewards baggers. 

    It looks as though there is no minimum amount for a dd. A £1 dd will qualify for a reward.

    Is that correct?

    Correct - any DD suffices.
