Still waiting for my voucher, switched on the 8th March using Uswitch.

Have you perhaps missed out? ... the offer ended on 6th March (see my note above on 4th June 23).

Got my email for the voucher on 30th May and claimed the Amazon voucher this morning. Email with voucher code came through instantly.

Good to know Pecunia  and showing the value of patience to others still waiting, I presume you applied for the account before the end of the 6th March.

I have just applied for this and was not given the overdraft, I had no intention of using it, but would this mean I would not get the incentive if i hit the requirements of putting so much into the account etc? I have been with halifax since forever so would be a totally new customer.

It should be of no consequence, in fact some recommend not requesting an overdraft if a switch is simply for the incentive, for reasons of credit markers.

By the way I hope you followed the MSE link for the new First Direct incentive offer ...

Sorry I received my “Welcome to First Direct” e-mail on the 8th March so I’m sure I applied for the account before that date. Who does the voucher come from?

I don't have those details (they have been removed) but I know someone who might ... @pecunianonolet who has just received theirs ... but you could always try phoning USwitch.

Apologies if already mentioned, but does opening this account with the current offer require a hard or soft credit check?
With the account not needing to have DDs etc (just the £1000 transfer in), this is tempting.

Thanks 😊

When I recently applied to FD to get the CA then the RS, I incurred a hard check.
