Comments

  • Yes, it will be paid, I understand on 12th February. 
    #19 on Pay ALL your debt off by Christmas 2022. 

    £6487.15 to pay. 
  • I received a text message from them, yesterday, which is a "Thanks again", "your £100 is on it's way and should be in your account by 11/02/2022".

    Same here.

  • I'm mortified. I have completely messed this up. Having read the T's & C's for existing customers, it states that an account from outside NATWEST must be switched in. Never mind. I won't be getting the bonus as I don't qualify. That will teach me to read things properly.

    Oh good know, but sad that I haven't received a text.
  • Could anyone who have received text just confirm if they deposited £1500 and transferred it out on same day. I did just that on 3.12.21 but no text.

    Yes, I did that (£1501) B)in spite of their £1500 requirement . Being extra cautious and double sure, I did the same again not long after!

    Oh and you got a text saying money is on its way? You know i think i may not qualify as i had opened a nat west account in 2019, though i think didn't get an incentive. These t & c  did say should not have had an incentive, so maybe i should qualify. i dont think I did get it because I opened a new account too soon after closing the other without realising I wouldnt qualify for incentive. And now i think that I may have done it again. Do u think i have a case? Could I claim an incentive even though i did open an account in 2019 but didn't get an incentive back then?
  • Maybe i can still get the extra £50 for 10 transactions per month??

    I applied for the Reward account on 27/10, I received an email saying we’ll let you know if we need anything else, but then nothing since. 

    Natwest seem so archaic with the account opening compared to Lloyds & the digital banks which open an account instantly. 

    Is it worth contacting them or is this the norm?
    I done about same time not had anything yet.
    I like doing it daily :A
