Nationwide FlexDirect £200 switch bonus (Oct 2022)

EarthBoy

My direct debits came over two or three days after the payees and the standing orders, so it must be normal.

My switch has started and I can see my ‘payees’ have gone across from Halifax to the account but not my 2 direct debits yet!

Does it take a few days into the switch for that to happen or should I start to panic?

Similar happened with my switch. The payees transferred but not the DDs or balance in the "losing" account and closure of it.

I eventually had to contact NW about that and their rep. contacted the "switching team".

That sorted it. It did take a couple more days though for the full switch to complete.

Quite probably it all would have eventually completed though, without contacting NW.

Previous switches have gone much smoother without requiring any contact from me.

Has anyone tried to switch despite receiving bonus after August 2021 and now received another one? Is it worth chancing it?

Some have, some haven't, so only one way to find out.

Happy to report that my Direct Debits have appeared today in Nationwide so hopefully smooth sailing for the £200 now

Has anyone managed to get the bonus for a sole and joint account.  The wording in the T&C suggest this should be possible.

Edit:  I missed the post where it appears that Deneb has confirmed this is possible.  Something Martin has just missed pointing out on his show.

Just logged on to try and do the joint account switch and get this message

Sorry, you can't apply for some products, arrange overdrafts or amend your personal details right now. Everything else is working normally.

Everything else apart from switching it would seem.

Another successful switch over from a new account which hadn't had the DDs collected from them on that account, then got my £200 the next day, so that's all very pleasing!

Anyone know how to activate the 5% interest for the £1,500. I've transferred in £1,500 (which meets that £1k payment threshold), but I can't see any interest amounts listed in the current account (FlexDirect), and my linked savings account (Flex Instant Saver 2) is just showing 2%.

Which account should I keep my money in (current or savings) to get the 5%, or have I gone wrong somewhere? Thanks!

I had switched to Nationwide using my sole account back in September 2021.

Can I switch my joint current account to Nationwide joint current account this time (November 2021) and get the switch offer?

Reading the product information pages for this offer, says that interest is paid on the 1st of month on balances held in the preceding month. Should credit the Flex Direct Account. 

Have you had the account long enough to have rolled-over a month-end?
