    Is that for switching or opening any any account via that link? See no mention of Amazon gift card

    Has anyone have tried this,
    open a second 1st direct AC using Uswitch link,
    you switch your external AC to newly open 1st direct AC
    You successfully get £175 + £30 amazon gift card.
    If not what about using the existing old 1st direct account,
    you switch your external AC to newly open 1st direct AC
    You successfully get £175  from 1st direct ??
    Any lead to this will be very much appreciated.

    Hi GTR ...
    It did at the time! I still have the e-mail mentioned in the OP and the * note is ...

    *Earn £175 cashback when you switch to First Direct’s 1st Account, as well as a Uswitch exclusive £30 Amazon.co.uk Gift Card on top. Offer ends 6th March. T&Cs apply. To qualify, switch using the Current Account Switch Service, deposit £1,000 within 3 months of account opening. New customers only. Must not have opened an HSBC account on, or after, 1st Jan 2020.


    The main offer ...

    This is an old offer.

    However you can still get the £175 switching bonus (provided you meet the criteria) and can get an extra £40 if you open the account via Quidco and meet their criteria - although it seems the Quidco cashback takes months to become payable.
