Metro Bank refer a friend offer

WeggieUK

I applied to open an account on 01/09, paid the first £500 on 15/09, had the switch complete on 21/09, made 10 transactions with the card on 22/09, paid the second £500 on 01/10. I have left the account at £1 each time as I need the money elsewhere. Used the App and online too. Technically, I should receive the £50 bonus by the end of this month. Will update.

Question: do I need to transfer in another £500 in October, and do I need to make any more purchases in October to qualify for the incentive?

I do not think it is necessary, however, as it was quite a simple thing to do, i have done exactly that and 2 mins later sent the £500 back to my other bank account. Safe not sorry.

Pretty sure the 10 purchases already made is sufficient.

Can a photo be uploaded instead of taking a selfie?

It seems not, it looks as though the application process will only work if there is a camera / webcam attached to your device / computer.

That would make the whole process a nonsense, as you could use anyone's photo.  It has to be of you, so it has to be a live capture.

Seeing they use your photo to identify you when you transact in a Metro Branch then using someone else's picture would be a pretty dumb thing to do, because when you went into a branch to do something you wouldn't look like yourself.  😁

Apparently people do. In fact Metro Bank expect a number of them to bring their dogs as well.  🐶

Has anyone received their incentive? I believe that I met the criteria on 26 September and have not received it yet. Not sure if I did something wrong? 

Referred by a relative, account opened on 26 August, switch in completed 15 September, paid £500 in on 26 August and then again on 26 September, made 10+ purchases in store and online in September and October.

Pretty sure if anybody had, they would have posted here. I would think there are many who know they have fulfilled the criteria and are now waiting for the money to drop, myself included.
