    For anyone who wants to have a look at what they're offering, here it is!
    https://rewards.firstdirect.com/perks/home

    A pretty dire selection! :'( 
    Wow, that’s very little! Hopefully it expands, otherwise I agree with Lightning that it’s kind of pointless

    Heads up ‼️

    You have to create an account at the marketing agency website, which is set up to look like a FD page, using your banking email, no other email will do. Then put in your name age etc. I phoned FD to check and this is the only way. Absolutely astonishing that a bank forced you to give out your banking email address and personal details to a third party. 

    Nope, not doing that.

    I stick with FD as my forever bank but over the years they've never really given much away if anything for me. I'd rather have something like TSB did or Halifax and give you rewards for spending on your debit card. Worth more to me than spending and getting a free coffee or buying at a food outlet that sometimes I've never even heard of.
    I agree. These cheap "reward" schemes are just spin for how to be able to say we have reward scheme in place without actually giving much (or sometimes anything).

    I like the Cineworld discount but there is a lot less than I had expected. Maybe they will grow over time.
