    Thought I'd just give this a bump as the offer is valid until end of November.

    I applied on 21 September and today have received my 6 bottles of wine.

    Contrary to my expectation, the wines are all very good quality, 4 of them have won awards and the other 2 have good reviews.

    Its certainly brought a 'smile' to my face ;D ;D ;D

    I was thinking about this today, do you have to do anything further (account opened and money paid in) to get the wine or is it just delivered. I opened my account august and have not received a grape.

    Sorry jen jen, didn't read your post properly :-[ - overlooked "money paid in". You shouldn't have to do anything else.

    I'd send them an email saying that the wine offer was the reason you chose to open a current account with them and when are they sending it?

    Sounds good ;D Fingers crossed for you.

    BTW, do your email as a secure message after logging in to your account - don't do what i did though and expect an email reply - they also secure message you back so you have to keep logging in to check whether they have replied.

    Snoopy - you do need to have incomings of £1000 per month, but don't need to pay it into the account - I checked that with them before opening.

    It does have to be a current account but you don't need to change your accounts over. I've kept my main one going with all the usual DDs, salary payments etc - the Smile one is just an additional account that I may in time use for household expenditure and bill payments etc if I can ever get around to switching it over from the main account.

    I just pay the wages in and then transfer most of them out again into the accoutn with all the dds set up. you can set up a regular payment to do this for you if you will forget.

    This way i will hopefully save a little bit (by not transfering it).
