Opening First Direct Current Account via Quidco

Just saw Quidco offering a boosted cashback offer of £45 for opening a new First Direct account via their website. However, FD are only accepting current account applications on their app. I don't know if this has always been the case.

Has anyone received cashback from Quidco for opening this account via the app? 

I've tried using my desktop and phone to go through the hyperlink in Quidco, then it successfully redirects me to FD's website. But when clicking on Apply for current account, FD sends me to the app store to download their app.

Thanks for any and all feedback.

    Download the app first, then use the referral link, that was how I did the Virgin one

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    I have done this successfully (not FD, TSB I think) but I accessed the Quidco link on my phone with the bank's app already installed.

    Can't remember if I used Quidco's app or via browser. but in any case make a note of the application date/time and any references in case you need to raise a claim at Quidco later.
