Nationwide £175 Switch on Joint account if already got bonus on Sole

Just looking at this - I am not eligible for any of the new switches as I did all of them in the last few years. Myself and hubby both switched into Nationwide 2 years ago (his was a full replacement of his current account, mine was just for the cash). We have our joint bills account with FD and I would like to keep that - just thinking of getting an extra joint account for shopping. Question is - would the account I switch from NEED to already be a joint account? Or could I switch from a sole account I have lying around (ha!), to a joint account?

Who can get the bonus?
- You can't have switched into a Nationwide account, or have received switch cash from Nationwide. BUT if you’ve previously received a bonus by switching into a sole account, and you’re now switching into a joint account, you will still qualify (and vice versa).

thanks

  • I'm also interested in knowing about this: I'm considering doing three switches to Nationwide: one for me, one for my wife, and one for a joint account, all about the same time.That would net £175 x 3 = £550!
    Would that be allowed?

    Just been on online chat with Nationwide, and they say there would be nothing wrong with it!
