Nationwide..Not Eligible for £100.00

I messaged them a couple of weeks back - never even had the decency to reply, even with their cut & paste one I've seen.From the above article "the majority said it was fair to reward those who both banked and saved or borrowed".I have a 35+ year old current account with them, I have 2 savings accounts on the go with them (used to be 3), I have had ISA's with them in the past, I have had 2 mortgages & numerous loans with them in the past - all paid off in full with zero defaults, I have had insurance with them in the past - I was NOT eligible for their fair share!I voted against their remuneration package & election/re-election as they have a FAR shorter relationship with the Nationwide than I do.0

I've been getting it since I joined Nationwide and can't recall ever signing up for the members newsletter. How long have you been registered for marketing via email? It took them about a month to send me my first newsletter. Other than that all I can think is that I signed up to their savings watch at around the time I joined, but savings watch is a separate set of emails so I wouldn't have thought it would have much bearing on the situation.ForumUser7 said:

With only 530,000 or so Votes cast on each resolution last year perhaps its time for some of us to use our Vote and not throw it in the Bin !

That’s odd - I’ve been signed up for over a year! Maybe I need to complain, not got anywhere with CSBridlington1 said:

I assume that you've already tried the usual checking the junk email folder and that sort of thing. Have you been getting all the other emails from Nationwide?ForumUser7 said:

I suppose one option would possibly be to unsubscribe then resubscribe to marketing emails and/or savings watch and see if that does anything, though I doubt it should have much of an impact but may be worth a shot, I've seen stranger things work with some of the other financial institutions I've used.
If that doesn't work then possibly look at complaining if you want to but if worst comes to the worst I am more than happy to send you a screenshot of the newsletters if you're particularly eager to read them in the meantime though.1 -
Nothing in junk - I got fairer share emails etc. - it seems really odd. Good suggestion - I did try unsubscribing and resubscribing, but only in June so it may not have had a chance to filter through yet. That’s really kind - if you could send a screenshot of the june one that’d be great please! I’ll take it up with nationwide later this month once exams are over - I might try a branch before complaining, sometimes they are more receptive than digital staffBridlington1 said:

Apparently, only 21% of members received the Fairer Share bonus. How can this be deemed fair and equitable? Especially when Nationwide is own by the members as a MUTUAL organisation? As stated in a previous post, many of the disenfranchised members have had a longer relationship with Nationwide than the majority of the board.0 -
You're a little late to this particular party but welcome! Nationwide say that they are rewarding those members with whom they have a "deeper relationship", which turns out to be about one fifth of all members. Gotta love weasel words.G_B_ said:See: theguardian.com/business/2023/jun/10/nationwides-100-payouts-labelled-unfair-by-some-customers

If you are unhappy then feel free to make a formal complaint, email the CEO Debbie Crosbie (debbie.crosbie@nationwide.co.uk) and/or vote rebelliously at the AGM next month. If you want to camp out on Debbie's front lawn you'll probably find a few members who will subsidise your food and beer costs.

Not and/or, complaining will achieve absolutely nothing, voting appropriately however can.0
