First direct £100 incentive

Hi

Could someone who has switched to First Direct and got the £100 for switching, please tell me how long it takes to get the £100, following your salary/ income being paid in?

Nowhere during the application procedure has the £100 been mentioned which slightly concerns me...

Any help appreciated

    I'm sure it says on their site somewhere about 28days after Salary is credited, unfortunately my Salary hasn't gone in yet so will be waiting a while for mine

    The £100 offer is "mentioned" all over their website. Indeed, from the first page of the application process...
    Apply for a first direct 1st Account today and transfer your full salary/income, of at least £1500, within three months and we'll add £100 to your account. The incentive payment will be made within 28 days of your first salary/income payment into your account.

    I am aware of that. If you had spent more time reading my post rather than rushing to post an unhelpful comment, you would have made note of the fact I said "no mention during the application procedure"....as in, during the process of applying for, and setting up the account they have not referred to the incentive.

    Geez, you must have too much time on your hands if you just post to try and contradict others.

    Other than the quote I gave you above you mean?

    I'll say again...as soon as you click "apply", you're presented with the T&C's for the £100 joining incentive, where it clearly informs you when you'll recieve the £100 incentive.

    What more did you want...a reminder at every stage of the process, a couple of 'pop-ups' here and there, and a telephone call from them just to make sure you'd read what was presented before your very eyes!


    You just can't help some people! :rolleyes:

    Which, presumably, is why you have given up trying and just post tosh?
