I've just set up a water direct debit to come out on the 7th. Do I need to apply for a switch with Nationwide after this date or fill out the switch now. And then request a switch after th 7th?0

And why should existing applications be excluded anyway? Seems a bit harsh.

There's a relatively easy way to bypass this. If you don't have an eligible Nationwide current account, you just open yet another new one and switch into that one, even if you have to also open an extra donor account. It all depends on how keen you are to get £125.0 -

IMO, Nationwide is trying to be fair in telling people that what they had in progress before the offer was launched won't qualify even if it completes after the launch date. So people then have the option do something that qualifies rather than sitting waiting for a bonus that won't happen... and then complaining.

Alternatively, keep the going ready for the next switch.

Having waded through these 28 pages for the useful information (TYVM) I find it a miracle of biblical proprtions that there has been no mention of:
- 2% AER fixed savings interest on up to £1,500 in year 1 (then 0.25% AER variable) if you pay in at least £1,000/mth.
(from the MES email). Have I missed it?0 -
