    You have to actually opt in, which takes one of the slots. When the promotion runs out of slots, then no one else is able to opt in. Also shows as opted-in on the bonus cashback section and tracks seperately (on the app at least). I have not yet had problems with any of these limited quantity Quidco promotions I've used recently. In fact, quite a few have aligned with purchases I have needed to make.
    Decent for those new to First Direct, as I presume you can stack the offer/cashback with the current £175 switching incentive.

    Still opt in slots left today, think will take a while to reach 3000! Plus that offer ends soon.

    The other incentive on Quidco was £40 yesterday, today it’s £30.

    Wow!  This looks like it will be £175 for the switch plus £70 (including the £30 bonus).  Fingers crossed it all goes through, I applied yesterday.  Huge thanks to the OP.

    Not sure if the incentive is different depending on your Quidco membership level? Logging in with a basic account it shows as £30, but if just browse the offer it shows as £40 so guessing that applies to Quidco premium members.

    Has anyone's Quidco tracked yet?  My FD account was opened 22nd March and the £30 bonus has tracked but hasn't been associated with a transaction yet, i.e. my FD transaction isn't registered.  Just wondering whether to open a claim or wait a bit longer...

    I always put in a claim if it goes more than a few days. Worst case the money shows up and the claim is closed.

    Mine took about ten days to show. You can’t make a claim for missing cashback until 10 days has passed from transaction according to Quidco.

    It's been 15 days so I've raised a claim.
