    I I was successful in getting the £200 bonus, even though I had got the bonus in August 2021 However, I had close the Nationwide account in January of this year and applied again for another current account at the time that you switch off was announced.
    Thanks that's good to hear I think I'll give it a go

    Just a heads up for anyone who had to get Nationwide to do the manual switch, due to 5 digit debit card not working.
    Text said no bonus.
    Complained on Friday, got the £200 bonus today.
  • Switched both individual (11/6) and joint accounts (14/6) for the offer and had 2 lots of £200 paid.

    Received Nationwide text to say switch complete. How long does it usually take to receive the text saying whether have qualified for the £200 or not?

    Thanks. I was the same as you in having previously benefited from the switch incentive after August 2021 but having since closed that current account and switched into a new one this time…..so hopefully should qualify.

    Applied for my switch and all seems to be going through. Should be done for 4th July.

    Is it ok to transfer my direct debits out of the account once I have bagged my £200? I really need to put them in another account.

    Once you've got the £200 you're free to do what you like with the DDs.

    I do not understand that they gave me the £200 incentive but when i asked about the 5% interest on the flex account they said because I had a flex account previously I did not qualify because in August 2021 I had an incentive then and because I closed my account in January 2024 I do not get the enhanced interest rate.
