First Direct Switch offer

30 Posts

I had First Direct switch offer back in year 2017 and close my First direct in year 2018.
And now is 2023, are they able to know that I had been with First Direct before, and trying to get the switch bonus.

However, on calling them (which you have to do for pretty much anything) they said that they have some kind of thing going on behind the scenes where they have two records for me - this new one and an old one - which I would need to link together before I could open a savings account. As that would then take 7 days I never bothered as that's a bit archaic.
Timeline:
2019 closed my First Direct account
2022 opened a new First Direct account and got my bonus
TwiceNightly was obviously a lot newer account than me but that looks like more admin error there end if having two records for them.
when I switched I opened the 7% saver and everything was seamless, I did not think I would get the bonus but wanted the savings account so worth the transfer and the switch bonus was an added benefit.

they link both records, and you still succeeded.
