First Direct £175 switch offer. 26/03/24

Anyone had their £175 yet? My switch completed mid April so I believe the £175 should be paid by 20th of this month.

Which is almost two weeks away. The bank has no real incentive to pay until the last possible date that they suggest.

Just wondering if anyone got any kind of confirmation that they had qualified for the bonus? My switch is complete, paid in £1000 for 24 hours, used the app etc. Is it just a case of waiting now?

You can check via Live Chat on the app. Can't remember off the top of my head the options to select. But not hard to find/select. Will ask date of starting switch etc.

When I did it, they confirmed I was eligible and to wait up to the 20th of the follow month of the switch completion. So I'm going to wait till 20th this month, and chase up if nothing by then.

Great thanks, I'll do that

Just got the switch bonus a few minutes ago. And this is despite having an account with FD previously which was closed around Autumn last year, although I haven't previously received a switch bonus from FD. I had moved address since closing the account which could be a factor, or it could be the only check they do is seeing who has had a bonus before. No idea, but thought I'd mention.

Got my switch bonus today. Really didn’t think I’d get it as I’ve had a FD account before about 2 years ago and had the bonus (albeit in my maiden name). They would have been aware I’ve had an account as they didn’t issue the last 4 digits of one of the codes (used previous one as advised on another post and it logged me in) Have had HSBC account before in the last 2 years and received bonus also. Definitely grateful they didn’t look too closely.
