I have a current account with nationwide, but that's all. Did previously have a mortgage, now paid off. Nothing for me

Well, I'll take it. It's not often you get something back. Glass half full.

Don't have a savings account so I don't qualify. Yet I do everything through them with my current account and credit card. I'll send in a complaint and theaten to close my accounts. Banked with them for god knows how many years. Takes the **** if everyone else gets £100

I expect there will be a lot like this. Not sure if it will end up being a negative for them

I've had a nationwide current account for over 20 years since I was a 10 or something, and a credit card. I got nothing.

Is anyone going to tell them they don't want £100? They have until the 7th June to say so.

Had mortgage account with NW which my parents paid off the balance as part of my 40th birthday. Couldn't do much else as was in lockdown at the time. Do have an ISA and a current account which I only use to transfer money to/from it.

Send all your unwanted £100s to me.

Probably several thousands of account holders saying no as no longer alive, don't have internet etc.

These companies are making record profits while everyone below is been milked for every penny. Scum. Business is business though.

So make sure you all milk the big companies where you can.

Dog eat dog n all that.

Both me and the missus have current and savings accounts and both eligible so that's £200

ChatGPT has written an excellent complaint letter for me and it is ready to go in the post.

HungryHippos · 19 May 2023 at 21:39

Only got a mortgage with them, so got nada.

And the bin.

Personally I think it would have been better if the £100 had just had the one condition attached.

Screw it £50 off the mortgage for just having the 1 thing would have been good enough for me

It's a little bit of a boring story but I had to move my current AC about 20 years ago because Nationwide wouldn't give me a debit card for some reason. This is why my current AC is with HSBC and my mortgage is with Nationwide.

Doobedoo · 19 May 2023 at 21:46

Nothing for me despite having current, joint and several savings accounts.

413x · 19 May 2023 at 23:29

Heard murmurs this could be a regular event. If it was I'd certainly switch back to NW. I only left for a bribe.

Its to do with usury laws in some religions you have the absolute version on 'never a borrower or lender be'. I dont know but some may be obliged to refuse payment I guess, I dont get the logic but its like my Aunt used to go switch on the lights for people unable to touch switches on certain days as it would be 'working' for them to do so personally.

Credit cards not qualifying may be related to that is the commercial banking side of Nationwide not the old mutual side where voting rights and mutual status is aligned with the house lending and savers who enabled that was the foundation of these building societies I guess.

Their saving rates are not the best for sure, I was going to switch but...apathy wins again
