Payments to their regular saver does work otherwise we wouldn't have qualified and we have (got the email).

But what do you do with the carrots? 😉

Eat them! Even seeing people making payments out, when Sainsbury's give bonus points for loose items, 10 nectar points for a 1p carrot + NW qualifying is good!

Money transfers made to your own account at another bank are essentially indistinguishable from money transfer to a different person at another bank - i.e. the bank cannot tell if the recipient account is you.

I've not contacted nationwide yet, but have the regular saver setup,

internally - £200 in and out each month - however I believe this being internal, doesn't qualify?

Externally - outside of nationwide I made 1x large payment out in Jan, and nothing in Feb nor March, the 2nd payment out was in April. So seems I've just missed this?

maximise

can anyone help with this, I've paid in from external account

£400 (2x £200) in Jan. £200 in Feb. £200 in Mar

I've paid out over £2k + to my external acc, plus £200 in Jan, £200 in Feb, £200 in Mar to my regular saver.

Nationwide saying it needs to be "onetime" £500 payment.

I might be reading your post wrong, but for the current account criteria you need to pay in £500 in 2/3 months over Jan-Mar, and then pay out at least 2x transactions out (irrespective of value). You only paid in £400, so that doesn't meet the criteria? I would otherwise agree that it shouldn't matter if each individual transaction is less than £500.

What account do you have?
If it's FlexAccount, FlexDirect or FlexBasic you fall at the not paying in £500 from an external account or not making 10 payments out of your current account (these would have to be done two out of the first three months of the year).

maximise I'm assuming here you have either a FlexAccount, FlexBasic or FlexDirect account.

You need to have done one of the following between January and March.

AND have done the following in March.

So ask yourself the following question(s):

1: Did you have at least £100 in savings at the end of any day in Mar or have at least £100 owing on a Nationwide mortgage on 31st Mar?

If yes, move onto the question 2 below. If no, then you don't qualify for the payment.

Assuming you answered yes to question 1 above, move onto question 2:

2: Did you pay in £500+ to your Nationwide account AND make 2 payments out of your account in 1 of the following monthly combinations:

Jan and Feb,

Jan and Mar,

Feb and Mar?

If the answer is no, move onto the question 3. If the answer is yes, then you qualify for the payment.

3: Did you make 10+ payments out of your Nationwide account in 1 of the following monthly combinations:

Jan and Feb,

Jan and Mar,

Feb and Mar?

If the answer is no, move onto question 4. If the answer is yes, then you qualify for the payment.

4: Did you do a full switch into your Nationwide account from a current account with another bank between Jan and Mar?

If the answer to this is also no, then unfortunately you don't qualify. If the answer is yes, then you qualify for the payment.
