The prizes are listed in the terms and conditions of the promotion. Process of elimination means the £500 gift cards are the last prize.fastpastlight said:danny13579 said:

I will probably pass on the chance of cheap Greggs.
How did you know before it was released?1 -
I'm glad they did the fair thing in the end and not surprised the website was very slow, seeing as they were still being listed as gifts (first come first served) rather than prizes. Just got my entry in.MDMD said:They must have heard you - it is now a prize draw for the voucher. Website was very slow
Hopefully someone on here gets one of the vouchers. We'll know on the 22nd December. 1 -
Bad they didn’t update the Ts and Cs to reflect - knowing in advance would’ve certainly reduced the panic when the site wasn’t working properlyIf you want me to definitely see your reply, please tag me @forumuser7 Thank you.

I research before my posts, and I never intend to share anything that is misleading, misinforming, or out of date, but don't rely on everything you read. Some of the information changes quickly, is my own opinion or may be incorrect. Verify anything you read before acting on it to protect yourself because you are responsible for any action you consequently make... DYOR, YMMV etc.0 -
First Direct are ending my £250 overdraft facility on my current account. I suppose it constitutes the removal of a perk.0

Ouch!where_are_we said:First Direct are ending my £250 overdraft facility on my current account. I suppose it constitutes the removal of a perk.
To my mind the £250 free overdraft facility is a major attraction of the FD account, even if it's something I've actually made very little use of - it's just reassuring to have that small buffer in the background, just in case.
May I ask if you made use of it often? Just wondering if there's any background logic that can be deciphered here.
