Nationwide £100 Fairer Share: Martin Lewis Tips to Boost Your Chances

Nationwide has a “Fairer Share” scheme where some loyal customers may get £100 each year. Martin Lewis mentioned how to raise your chances, as this scheme has been running for two years now.

Last year, Nationwide paid £385 million to 3.85 million members. The previous year, they paid £340 million to 3.4 million people. Payments happened in June, after a May announcement.

To increase your chances, keep your Nationwide account open until at least March 31, 2025. Also, use your current account normally.

For some accounts, deposit at least £500 and make two payments in separate months. Another option is to make ten or more payments in a month, and do this in two of the first three months. FlexPlus accounts only need the fee paid.

FlexOne, FlexGraduate, and FlexStudent accounts have different requirements. Just deposit or withdraw any amount in March 2025. Finally, maintain savings of £100, or a mortgage balance of £100, during March 2025.

Consider switching to Nationwide for a bonus, as you could receive £175 for joining FlexDirect. Plus, you can earn 5% interest on savings up to £1,500 and might even get cashback on spending. To switch, use Nationwide’s official service by March 31, 2025.

Then meet the savings or mortgage criteria in March. Keep at least £100 in savings, or owe at least £100 on a mortgage.
