MSE News: Nationwide Fairer Share: Free £100 bonus confirmed for 2026

It would take me 20 mins just to get to the supermarket and back!
I've been transferring £500 in to our joint flex direct, and £200 to my and wife's 6.5% regular saver, and withdrawing the excess £100 from ATM for spending cash. Hope this qualifies!

It's worked for me this year, and it worked last year. I haven't made any payments, I've only done transfers.

This is what I do as part of funding the Regular Saver. Never use the debit card.
Just got a notification when opening the app to confirm I'm eligible for the £100

There is no need for MSE to seek clarification, it's clear in the T&Cs "have made at least two payments out of your current account"
Doesn't matter where is goes as will be a payment from the current account, but it does matter where it comes from as can't be another Nationwide account,Let's Be Careful Out There3 -
It must work because thats what I did and I've had the email saying I qualify :)

I've also only ever made faster payments out (i.e. no debit card transactions) and have received notification via the app that I've qualified

I've not got any app or email notification of fairer share yet, although not sure just having a rolling regular saver (one ended in Jan 26 and I opened up a new one straight after) with a direct debit for £200 a month would qualify?

A payment to another account is ambiguous as to whether a transfer counts - clearly it does based on these anecdotes but MSE cannot assume
Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

It's not about assuming or anecdotes, it's about the T&Cs of the offer that both Nationwide and their customers have to abide by. The term is "out of your current account" nothing else matters as there is no exclusion for internal transfers or anything else.

Payments between Nationwide accounts eg to a Regular Saver presumably don't work. But payments to accounts at other banks too. I don't have an overdraft at Nationwide, don't want one, but I sometimes transfer money so I don't incur overdraft interest on my main current account elsewhere.
