    I this may well be generic to all customers - it does state "check eligibility".  I have Flex, FlexDirect, Saver and SAver 2 and an ISA.

    Been a member since 1984 and keep all my accounts active.
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    I don’t frequent the mortgage board so for balance with the savers I’ll gripe here that it appears that having a £150k mortgage with them but no current account also make me a second class member.

    I've had an email, £100. We've got a joint flex plus purely for the worldwide travel insurance, & I have an ongoing ISA.  I thought this may be something to do with having been a 'member' since carpetbagging days but it seems not & doesn't seem quite 'loyalty' fair.

    I've kept an a/c running for what feels like 100 years, just transferring within N/W year in, year out for poxy interest..........because you never know maybe one day they'll be 'carpetbagged' & I'll get a big fat payout!    :)

    PS Now I'll need a lie down in a dark room, this is addling my pea brain. Husband also has an email £100, only things he has is joint flex a/c with me & we're also joint trustees for 2 Smart Limited Access a/c's for our grandsons.  Oh well, mustn't look a gift horse in the mouth, 'free' money in exchange for rubbish interest.
    Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.

    I went to their 'contact us' page and chose 'feedback' (didn't want to chose 'complaint') and made my views known

    In my Opinion for what it's worth, over the years, I think that the Nationwide has become much more like a High Street Bank than a traditional BS. For example, the trend towards making customers attend in branch to open certain types of Bonds etc. I once tried to do this and was swiftly hijacked by their Investment Manager wanting to flog me a dodgy product, as you can imagine I showed them a clean set of heels and took my money elsewhere. This morning, Nationwide grabbed the headlines with this £100 bonus which isn't exactly fair to all customers even of 25+ years standing. I can hear the Personal Finance correspondents of the newspapers sharpening their pencils and I've got a feeling there might be a bit of negative press on this decision.
