If you qualify, the money will land between June 18 and July 4.
The payment will go straight into your Nationwide current account, so you won't have to worry about any forms.
To qualify, you must have opened your main current account with Nationwide by March 31 this year.
On top of that, you'll need to either have a savings balance of £100 or more, or owe at least £100 on your mortgage by the same date.
Plus, your account has to show some activity between January and March - so it can't just be sitting there gathering dust.
An estimated four million people will pocket the payout this year.
It will be the third year in a row Nationwide has rewarded customers in this way.
Boss Debbie Crosbie said: 'Nationwide has had an outstanding twelve months. We returned a record £2.8billion in value to members and remain number one for customer service.'
So if you're a regular Nationwide user and tick the right boxes then it's happy days.
And if that wasn't enough, there's another sweetener on the table.

The bank has just launched a £200 switching bonus for newbies, plus a Member Exclusive Bond that pays a tidy return.
Anyone who saves the full £10,000 in the bond will bag £762.50 in interest over 18 months – that's £150 more than its next best offer.
The £100 payment is separate from the £50 one-off bonus paid earlier this year to 12 million members.
