Solitary chicken - need advice

[jomaxsmith]

Sorry if this is not allowed but I thought it would be appropriate given the recent discussion on the Co-op bank/Smile

 

I'm a Smile account holder and just received an email offering me 12 bottles of wine for recommending a friend - who also gets 12 bottles. All you pay is delivery. I've had this offer before and the wine is decent quality - I seem to remember they use Virgin Wines.

 

This is the (edited) email text so you know what it's about, PM me if you want me to email you the full info, thanks Jo x:

 

 

2008 is a good year for recommending smile to your friends. According to the folks at Which? Money, smile was awarded best buy status for current accounts+. According to us, that deserves a little bottle of something. Hang on, since we're the type of people who never spit out at wine tastings, let's make that 12 bottles for you and 12 bottles for your friend - all you have to pay is the delivery charge of £5.99.

 

Just forward the below message to someone you think would appreciate decent banking, and if they open a shiny new smile account and fill it with a minimum of £1500, then your wine will soon be winging its way towards you both.

 

We hope you enjoy your wine, but please drink it responsibly.

Your friend has sent this e-mail to you because they don't want you to miss out on the great rates and top-notch customer service that they get with their on-line bank, smile.

 

Not only that, but they thought you'd be interested in getting 12 bottles of wine!

 

Basically, if you open a current account with smile, both you and your friend that sent you this e-mail will get 12 bottles of wine each*.

 

And just in case you were wondering what else you might be missing out on with your current bank:

 

2.27% AER on every penny when you're in credit

£500 12 month fee-free overdraft, to help out when you need it

a dedicated team to make switching simple and hassle-free

24/7 control over your account

also, as part of The Co-operative Bank we have a customer-led Ethical Policy.

 

We hope you enjoy your wine, but please drink it responsibly.

 

Thanks,
