Just a few days left to cash in on A&L’s £50 recommend a friend offer

Alliance & Leicester is urging its savvy current account customers to make the most of their friends with the last few days of Alliance & Leicester popular Recommend a Friend offer of £50.

Throughout July, existing Premier and Premier Direct current account customers have been able to benefit from a £50 cash incentive for recommending these accounts to their friends and family, with a further £50 going to the successful applicant as well - but the current offer ends in just a few days time on 31st July 2007.

However, from 1st August customers will still have the opportunity to benefit from the offer when it reverts to £25.

Andy Bayes Head of Current Accounts at Alliance & Leicester said: “Our Recommend a Friend incentive is a great way of rewarding customers and showing our appreciation for choosing to bank with us. Current account customers looking for a better deal can switch to Alliance & Leicester and earn themselves hugely competitive rates of credit and debit interest with a proven market leader.

“With only a few days left to benefit from this £50 offer, we want customers to be aware that now is one of the best times to recruit friends to one of our best of breed Premier accounts.”

The friend or family member who the customer recommends needs to be 21 years old or over and be able to fund their Premier Direct or Premier Current Account with the £500 minimum monthly funding within 8 weeks of account opening.

Customers can get a copy of the £50 Recommend a Friend voucher online at alliance-leicester.co.uk/currentaccounts, by calling 08459 262626, or at any Alliance & Leicester store.
