    @Johntea halifax doesn't show when next due on my debits either - although on my app & online it does show them as 'monthly'.

    FWIW I received the bonus with two direct debits where the last paid status was "never", and although monthly the next (first) payment date isn't shown. I am actually expecting them to be cancelled by GoCardLess on the payment dates, as they have pulled the rug from under the originator, a £1 DD arrangement, and they have already done that to another DD that was due on 1st November. But they were active at the point of transfer and payment of the bonus, which is the criteria.
  • Still not received the £200 bonus. They told me I've met criteria and that they have escalated it because of this.

    Here's hoping i get something this week :smile:

    Also don't like their little card reader, really annoying to set this up for payments. Randomly asks sometimes and have to mess with it.

    Morning 😀 does anyone know if I can switch my new Nationwide account straight out again? I have the £200 but now want to take advantage of the club Lloyd's offer and the Nationwide one would be easiest to switch but I've only had it a week. I can't see anything in the t&c but wondered if anyone had?

    Usually as soon as the bonus has been paid into your account it’s yours, so get straight into the next one before it closes. I was a bit late getting into this ‘free money’ lark, but I’ve done the switching merry go round twice now once about 10 years ago and same banks again a couple of years back, none ever asked for the money back and I switched as soon as the money was shown in my account.

    Also got a first direct bonus a second time, even though the bumf said you couldn’t get it twice!
