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?

Yes, I logged in a second time and the message has gone so I used the BOT chat and that says I'm good to go, it's all a little strange.

Looks like the email was sent out just before 9am but I only found it an hour ago. thank you!

One of the things I did years ago was to set up a SO with £100 circulating through various bank accounts which fulfilled lots of the small print for a minimum pay in. Many of those accounts  (like Tesco & M&S) are now closed but the SO still operates!

I also have a RS

I don't use the Debit card and the balance is not huge. if you examine the statements it clearly isn't a "main account!"

Got our emails today, joint Flexplus, we 'pay in' £20pm to cover the fee & annual insurance. I have an ISA & we're both trustee for grandson's Smart Limited Access a/c. 

'Free' £200, well we won't say "no".

So all us Flexplus holders will get all of the 'profit' back from Nationwide increasing the monthly account fee from £13 to £18 last year?

Not had email, but I have a Flex Basic account and do this:

In two of the first three months of the year, you made 10+ payments OUT of your account;

I have done this almost daily - depositing £10.00 to a gambling website (match betting purposes)

I also have a mortgage with them.

Had the notification in the App first (which subsequently disappeared on later log-ins), then got the email.

I just want to say a HUGE thanks to @where_are_we-

if it wasn't for your original thread:

I would not have applied for a Nationwide Account, in the hope of being eligible for the bonus this year.

Well done to everyone who has managed to get it, and thanks to Nationwide for doing this too.

Did anyone else also get a 'limited time' 5% Bond offer via the App notification - and is it worth taking it up?

I think it might have been a one year Bond?

Thanks

It isn't a targeted offer and it's 18 months: https://www.nationwide.co.uk/savings/member-exclusive-online-bond/

It's certainly a very good rate for such a bond but whether or not it's the right product for you is very subjective. Personally I feel I have enough money tied up in places I don't allow myself to access, mostly in LISA - so I'm not interested in locking up more cash.

I was sure i met all the criteria for the £100 payment but found i was ineligible as i needed a second account for savings. I never noticed this condition in anything i read leading up to the announcement of the payment. Bit disappointed.

I have not had any notice about getting the £100/£200 (it is a joint account) and I have a Nationwide Flex current account and a flex regular saver that I saved £200 a month into for a year with that £200 going through the Flex current account.

And yet I got two £50s  earlier this year.

Could it be because I withdrew the money and closed the regular saver after a year on 15th May 2025?

No, will be another reason.
