No email but pretty sure my app said I qualified. Current account, mortgage and 2 savings accounts. Will just have to see I guess as app not showing alert now.

Yeah I had that earlier seems they remove it after you've seen it, but nice if it stayed up for peace of mind!

Boo.
Just checked. I can't get the 200 switch bonus.

Lame!

Note: This will count as interest for the tax year, so plan around that if you have other investments that earn interest outside of an ISA or similar.

was going to post this too

may affect people who are planning to max their PSA (myself included)
it's a good dilemma to have though

Use it as my main account but because I don't have a savings account with them I get squat.

Load of crap.

Got my email yesterday, was lucky as I cleaned my savings account out in January but then saved a bit I march which was the qualifying month.

I haven't received an email yet, but it is nice to see Nationwide distribute part of its profits to customers

My email arrived. Happy Days. I'm not sure what I'll do with it, I'll probably put it into savings.

They had the same requirement last year, did you miss that as well?

Not much you can do now but I'd recommend trying to hit the minimum requirement for this one each year, as it's likely going to have the same one each year going forwards.

Damn, not received an email so guessing I didn't qualify this year.

 

[HungryHippos]

They're still sending them, I saw a notice in the app when I signed in if that helps.

 

[valve90210]

Just looked on there no message on there either sadly.

 

[HungryHippos]

Have you checked if you are eligible per the criteria?

If you just have a current AC and do nothing else you would not be.

There is a checker on the site: https://www.nationwide.co.uk/about-us/fairer-share/

Yeah I looked, I think I failed to have enough money in my savings account in March sadly, had to take a load out to pay unexpected bills Will make a note to myself for next year

 

[Deluxe1]

Nothing in mine.

 

[ShadowMan]

Email received now.

Also just pretty much emptied my Nationwide savings into a T212 Cash ISA but leaving a minimum value in there to ensure I get next years too if they keep doing this.

The regular saver is still good with them, was 8% but new one I read the other day was 6.5%, that still beats 5.2%.

Putting something into that each month on a standing order will ensure you are always eligible for this yearly thing if they carry on doing it with the same criteria.

 

[ShadowMan]

I have the 8% saver which I max each month and leave there. I have a normal saver with them at 3.5% too that held some cash. That is what I moved to T212. I’ll keep splitting it around to keep it in higher interest accounts and minimise the tax etc.

 

[HungryHippos]

I think the reg saver would count for this but not sure, otherwise I would have been eligible via Current AC and Mortgage.

No point with 3.5% savings really the ISA is better for sure.
