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 don't know for sure; previously it's been accepted by some institutions and not by others.

I think 2 debits to the same account, to the same institution is probably ok if that is 2 different mandates.
But it possibly isn't, even then, depending on Nationwide's point of view; they could argue 2 DDs to the same organisation is one DD pulling twice.

If you're just trying to avoid the hassle of creating another DD, in similar circumstances (I was), I'd choose to not risk having to conjure another qualifying donor ac & DDs after this one possibly fails, and waste of effort to date.

I've got a horrible feeling I'm going to fall foul of the name matching again with this switch. This was a problem for me when I switched from M&S to Halifax, as the two banks had my name stored in different formats. Is this standard for all CASS requests, or are some banks fussier than others?

Even I have this doubt, having middle name in the donor account creates a problem?  First and last name and rest all other details are exactly same on my donor account and NW Flex, just middle name is additional.

You can't qualify using a saving account (amongst other possible reasons for failure). Make the effort to read the terms (reproduced on page 4 of this thread) and ask here if you don't understand them.

I had two differences in my name, and I'm not sure which one (or maybe both) caused the switch to fail:

• donor bank had my abbreviated first name, whereas target bank had my full first name, and
• target bank had my middle name, whereas donor bank did not. 

I believe I have the exact same situation again, and will report back what happens.

As long as it's two separate DD mandates it will be fine - both my DDs went to the same organisation and I was paid the full £125 incentive without issue.
