    Finally got mine too. Looks like they must be on a monthly payment cycle.

    Okay, so just to update I've received a switch bonus from FD having already had a bonus this year from HSBC. I was also previously a customer with FD over 10 years ago too. 

    Seems that they don't check too much on previous apps!

    Yes, same for me
  • Do you need to set up any direct debits etc for the switch bonus? I’m thinking of switching from the RBS account I opened to get their switch offer which paid out this week 🤣
