oldagetraveller1 said:Well, their £100 give away has been very well timed and paid out just before the AGM. Just saying.I think NW are great. Received £200, last year, for switching an account to them. 1 x £8 and 2 x £10 for supermarket spend. The icing on the cake has been £100 so-called fair share.Taken the ill gotten gains, closed the account and gone elsewhere.We need more like you, shafting the system.Then perhaps these institutions will give a little more thought as to how they treat their 'loyal' customers!1

I believe those who use the society for their everyday banking and savings should be rewarded, not just those who are taking advantage of one or two products, which Nationwide have done. They are actively contributing to the society, and are the ones they interact with most. Plus,
it’s nice to see a bank/building society actually rewarding loyalty, not just for switching!0 -
Initially it was for the switch "reward".No inkling, then, of anything further. (Supermarket spend, "Fairer" share).I was more than content with the initial reward but more than willing to accept something extra that I didn't ask for or anticipate.I would have probably stayed with them, but for a reason that will not be acceptable to reveal here, I closed.Having run out of options for another secondary account, I was willing to stay.0

Both my wife and i have a Nationwide Flex Account and as customers were expecting £100 each as loyal Nationwide customers. 25 years.
We have had a mortgage now paid off and house insurance.
We assumed we would get the £100.
Nope.
Its a flexPLUS account PLUS A SAVINGS ACCOUNTS .. Or MORTGAGE
If you just have a flexplus account on its own you are apparently not counted as a nationwide customer.
Every article i have read 12 in total says being a Flexplus Account Holder qualifies...it doesn't. Its even HERE on the Monesavingdexpert website !!!
They are getting 000s of complaints a day so now have a dedicated phone number and team handling all the enquires.

A FlexPlus is a qualifying current account, but the terms require that you also hold a qualifying mortgage or savings account too.
You may be referring to a different article, but this MSE article makes it clear a savings or mortgage is needed too - https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2023/05/nationwide-fairer-share-100-to-customers/

There is massive stink brewing.
They said all Nationwide Customers, that is what the media picked up on, that is what what the bank said in its headlines, and indeed its even on THIS MONESAVINGEXPERT WEB PAGE.
If you are a Flex Account holder or FlexPlus customer you are not classed as Nationwide customers, its ONLY actually savings +mortgage to qualify.
The stench is so bad think Hoover and Ratners, they now have it as as 1st option when you call them.
The lad i spoke to laughed and said they have brought in a dedicated team handling 000s of enquiries a day from totally disgruntled Nationwide customers who are now checking their account and realising they are NOT receiving any monies, they "thought" they were Nationwide customers but are clearly not.
