Nationwide Fairer Share: Free £100 bonus confirmed for 2025 – here's who will get it

Voyager2002

The eligibility criteria include payments out of the account: does anyone know whether transfers to another account count as payments out?

For those of you who are worried you haven't received an email yet, I still haven't got mine but when I log into the app it says I'm getting my £100.

Same, no email but when I log in it says I will get my £100.

I got the message in the app a couple of hours ago, but now it's disappeared! Anyone else had this?

yeah, the notification is gone when I just logged in now to check. I did receive the email about an hour ago though - notification was in the app long before email arrived

I'm not sure about transfers to another account but I don't use my Nationwide debit card at all, but do have direct debits set up and manually transfer to my savings account, as well as occasionally back to my other bank. I received the email this morning. I missed out last year as I had stupidly reduced the amount I paid into the Flex account each month so it was below the threshold. Certainly didn't make that mistake this year

Thanks - still no email for me so I'm worried I was imagining the app notification! Should probably stop looking and just wait!

Got the email & a banner in the app.

We've double checked this with Nationwide and it told us the following all count as "payments out":

Debit card transactions, Direct Debits, bank transfers and standing orders (but not transfers to other Nationwide accounts you have).

I have a joint account with wife (Flex Account & mortgage) and a Flex Plus account of my own plus savings.

If only I got 2 payments of my own...

They have in the past, as long as they are not your own Nationwide accounts. The terms of this years offer don't specifically specify that debit card transactions or direct debit payments are needed, so I'd be considering a complaint if they deny you on that basis. I've had a series of standing orders scheduled each month for the last year now to automate meeting the reward criteria, and it was enough for me last year, and my online banking suggests I'm also eligible this year.
