    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!

    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 🤣
