Query about First Direct offer on Top Cash Back

Hello,
in the exclusions part of the first direct offer it states “ cashback can only be claimed on the first account opened or the first switched account. Additional accounts are not eligible for cashback “
does anyone know if this means the first account opened via the top cash back site or the first one opened any way ? I’ve had a first direct account years ago that I got a switch bonus for - the account was closed a long time ago. Would I still qualify for the £50 cashback if I opened a new account via TopCashback as my first account opened via that site, or does the fact I’ve had a previous account, albeit opened another way, exclude me ? I know I won’t get the switching bonus so am just looking at the cashback. Has anyone used the cashback link and got it despite having previous accounts ?

If you've ever had a First Direct account you are not eligible. Mine was opened over 20 years ago, I could try but it's not worth the hassleRemember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.1

So I wouldn’t get the £50 cashback for a new account even though I wouldn’t be doing a switch ? I expected that to be the case but thought was worth double checkingjimjames said:If you've ever had a First Direct account you are not eligible.

I had a First Direct account years ago, switched it out, opened a new one earlier this year via Top Cashback and got both the switching bonus and cashback (should have been £60 but only got £45, my claim for the remaining £15 is still ongoing). So I would go for it and see what happens. Worst than can happen is that your cashback is declined.1

Very true. Think I’ll give it a go and see what happens. Nothing ventured nothing gained I guessdanny13579 said:I had a First Direct account years ago, switched it out, opened a new one earlier this year via Top Cashback and got both the switching bonus and cashback (should have been £60 but only got £45, my claim for the remaining £15 is still ongoing).
