New Nationwide Switch - both new and existing?

margaretx9

Apologies if this seems like a silly question.

I have an existing Nationwide flex plus current account - if I switch another current account into that to take advantage of this offer I assume I won't get a hard credit search by Nationwide (as the flexplus is already open and in use anyway)?

You would only get a credit search if opening a new account or adding/changing a credit facility (such as an overdraft) on an existing account.

My switch completed yesterday (1st September).

Has anyone been paid out their switch bonus yet ? - If so, how long after the switch completes is the bonus generally paid ?

Thanks in advance

I got a text to say "you met the conditions, and the money will be paid within 24 hours."

It was already in my account when I got the text......

I have just checked my DD's and I have one leaving on the 1st September and two leaving on the 6th September. However the start of the switch is on the 6th. I thought the 2nd direct debits were on the 4th. Not sure now if I should shift the date now to 7th September to start the process. 

The 4th is a Saturday, so it should come as no surprise they will pay out on the next working day. I don't understand why you are considering making changes to the switch as a result of this.

I have now changed the pending date to start switch on the 7 September and completes now on the 15th. I originally applied to switch on the 19 August so this is still within the 30 days. 

UPDATE

After checking my direct debits again I discovered one would be paid on the 2nd September and as already said the first one on the 1st September. So I initiated the Switch on the 31 August. I have about 5 on the active list.

I didn't get a text, or email saying the (first of 3) switch completed - but it did complete on 31/08. The £125 bonus wasn't in the ac yesterday, but it is today.

Attempted to open new joint Flex account, already a customer, but it gets stuck after adding second applicant and asking to review details. No obvious errors. Tried on app and same result.

Applied and requested switch to brand new flex direct account on 19th August. Read all the Ts&Cs, my account which be switched from Halifax had two direct debits. Home Insurance and Bank loan(Lloyds). Received Text on 20th August explaining my switch is in progress and will receive a text to state if I am eligible for the switching offer when the account has opened and switch into. 31st August Switch complete. Received a text today saying I am not eligible for the switching offer. Phoned nationwide customer service, the agent explained there is nothing showing why I am not eligible for the switching offer. All the agent could do is lodge a complaint and it will get investigated. Sounds like some jiggery pokery to me.

On my donor current account I have set up 2 DD`s (2 different amounts on 2 different dates in same month) to a newly opened Post Office online saver 51. NW T&C`s states 2 active DD`s. Nothing about to 2 different DD`s. I seem to remember this query before on MSE. Will this qualify?

I've now (lunchtime) received the confirmation eligible text.
