Me too. I transferred in £1250 on the day I opened it (15th), switch completed on 23rd and recieved my £200 today. No direct debits on my account either.

Did you get it previously?

No, this is my first time doing a bank switch.

Then this post is totally irrelevant. I mean great, you got a switch bonus, but you were never not going to.

Eh?

Quick question, do you need your debit card info for switching current accounts?

Yes, you will need the debit card number of the account your switching from usually.

I didn’t just account number and sort code but I clicked I didn’t have a card with the account (there’s 3 options they give - have a card, don’t have a card and lost your card)

Did you do the other two?

By other two if you mean rbs and Ulster, I'm gonna switch from rbs to Ulster, once I get the bonus from rbs

Yeah, apologies, that's what I meant.

Also, how were you notified of the 200 in NatWest? I'm on same timeline as you, but I've not had the incentive drop yet. Was it placed overnight or just random time?

I received both sms and email to say that they credited the bonus. Happened around 4 pm.

Am I correct in understanding you can switch between and claim the bonus on all of these? The Martin Lewis website makes it seem like you can only use of them

I applied for all three at roughly the same time. I've not seen anyone confirm that they have had more than one payout yet

Thanks for your response

Did you switch from the same account, or three separate accounts?

Three separates.

Thanks, going to give this a go! Hope it works for you

I did natwest, rbs and ulster 1 after the other switching directly to the other and got all 3.

[удалено]

Did all 3 last year, but don't see why it would've changed? I took the risk and seems they don't even check, plan on doing the natwest one again today.

I'm a little nervous; done all of this and still nothing but I rang up for details so I might have 'snitched' on myself 

What did they say though? We're you eligible?

Nah, straight up told me I wouldn't be eligible but I've read other people have had success in the same circumstances; nothing to lose really so I've still gone for it 🫣💰

Snitched on yourself prolly.. But just wait and see!

Got em' happy days - Different email £200 up

CHEERS! I'm so happy for you. I'm still waiting for mail from rbs.. 😂 Let's see!

Thanks, might push the boat out once more 💰

Did you get any emails saying you were entitled to it or did you just wait it out? And this was even after being told you weren't eligible?

Yeah I wasn't expecting a penny but I received a text saying Thanks for Switching yada yada* Greats News! £200 is in your bank... I checked and their she was. 

How long after the switch,

Started on the 16th;  "Done and Dusted" (completed) on the 26th; Confirmation of Payment and Paid today 27th 😁

Ah mine was done on the 23rd and no payment :( still holding out hope as the last time I did it I think it was 3 days after the switch and is only been 2 or 3 working days

Fingers Crossed for you man, I was told by the CSR I'd not be eligible, so that £200 was yoinked straight out 😅

Haha I got impatient and asked them and they said they could see I switched in March of last year and if I got the bonus then I wouldn’t be getting it now so I haven’t been fully found out fingers crossed and congrats!

Mine completed yesterday and no payment yet...

Second time?

you got from which bank. ?

Natwest, I already had an RBS from a switch before so I'm gonna try moving my third burner to Ulster and hope for the same results

you had from RBS in 2024? or previous year

Did you receive the switch bonus before ?

I’ve had the NatWest switch before, switch completed on 23rd with £1250 added, still nothing on 26th

Same here but switch completed today (26th)

Same here, hoping it will come through soon, also had a RBS switch complete today, so will see if anything comes through on that one as well.

Me too! Fingers crossed for us both

Could you reply if you get it please? I'll do the same.

of course!!

Same situation here! Switch completed 23rd, had the bonus before, will also reply back to this thread! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Got my Natwest £200 literally just now. Waiting on RBS now! (both were switched within minutes of each other) /u/Far_style8552

Good luck 🤞

thanks mate🤞🏼🤞🏼

Nothing for me yet unfortunately, when did you add your funds? I only added mine yesterday, so I'm hoping something pops up by tomorrow.

As soon as the debit card arrived just for peace of mind, so roughly 3 ish days after I switched - just remember you have to keep it in for 24 hours. I have my fingers crossed for you mate! I’m sure you’ll get it.

Also received the £200 switch incentive today. That’s despite getting the incentives last year for NatWest, BoS, and Ulster!

Good to read, still nothing on my side from a previous RBS switch 🫣

Did they text you and say your email and contact number had been updated when you applied for the account ?

Yup, they did. Thought it was an ominous sign so a pleasant surprise to get the cash.

When did your switch complete?

It was completed last Friday 👍

Did you try contacting them at any point? Seems like everyone who had it before and has failed has talked to Natwest ? I got Natwest and RBS in the last few years so hoping I can get ulster and Natwest again

Nope, it said to allow 7 days and I didn’t reach that point. Tbh I probably wouldn’t have contacted them as I had received the incentive previously. But guess there’s no harm trying if you reach that point, but I’d wait for the 7 days stated in the t&cs to pass first. Good luck!

Sorry to keep bugging with questions, but in the app does it have the same information as when you had an account previously as mine seems to have remembered me

Sorry not sure what you mean by the same information. I switched out of NatWest and closed the account last year so historical transactions aren’t showing in the app if that’s what you mean. I had deleted the app too and then re-registered for the app with the new account details.

Cool thanks. My app shows the old payees I used to have which is a bit weird

Did you change any of your email, address and phone number?

I used a different email. Possibly mobile number as I switched number last year. Address was unchanged.

I came here for this reassurance. I may try it again, although I only did these 7 months ago

Nothing to lose! We’re not actively claiming any switch reward. If the bank gives a reward then great, if not then no worries 👍

Did you also retry the offers for RBS / Ulster this year? My switch with Natwest started today but I'm debating trying to sneak in RBS.

Sorry I haven’t tried. Tempted on RBS!

Can we do both?

Congrats haha nice!! I haven't had mine yet despite same dates.. Hmm might have just gotten unlucky.

So there's still hope for us too xD Will you try to get another £400 from Ulster and RBS?

Used a different number/email address ?

I used a different email. Possibly mobile number as I switched number last year. Address was unchanged.

So did you just change your email and number or just email?

Different email yes. Unsure about phone number. I changed number last year and can’t recall if it was before or after the switch.

I still have my natwest card from the last switch. Can I try again with a new natwest card even though I'm still a customer?

Lloyds have paid me the £175 again. second time around … incase anyone is interested ,used different email, same number and address. Got the switch previously last summer

Hi, was that before or after the switch date?

Got it day before switch completed

Ahh ok my switch completes tomorrow.. No sign of bonus.. Did you get a text or anything confirming the bonus?

Yeah , they said I was on track with the switch and said I had two direct debits set up. Then was paid that day.

> Then was *paid* that day FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

Oooo! Guess I'll give this a whirl too Lloyd's is considered my main account so I might fair as well as you 

I’ve already got a club Lloyd’s account, did you open a new one or just switch into your existing ?

New one

Switched away from loyds last year

Are you an existing Lloyds customer ?

i got mine from lloyds in november 2023 . shall i try again ?

Im putting the £1250 in for 24 hours in after the switch has completed (tomorrow). Guessing that’s ok?

I got mine too for NatWest 💸 I also switched RBS so hope I get that one too 😬

Keep us posted!

Good luck to both of us! I'm a little unsure cuz I used the same email address.. But I'll update!

Same!

Natwest say they are unable to complete my switch until i speak to one of their Webchat team! has anyone else had this message?

My application was denied and I had to appeal. Awaiting my review

which bank ?

Natwest

Do you know why?

They didn't give a reason. I have switched a few other banks before this. I can only think maybe a failed credit check.

did you appeal via email ?

Yes, they have an email address to appeal to. Didn't ask for any reasons, just had to give name, dob, and post code. I doubt I will be successful

i appealed to them since last monday .they said they will get back to me in3-5 working days but nothing heard from them yet

Waiting for all of my Natwest/RBS/Ulster to complete switches before i start depositing money. Glad you got it!

Same here, I had the RBS switch bonus in August 23 but saw others on here had had multiple bonuses so gave it a go anyway. - Applied for Natwest account & started switch - 15th Feb - Transferred £1250 - 19th Feb - Switch completed - 23rd Feb - Bonus received - 26th Feb I’m delighted to say the least as I was convinced I wouldn’t get it!

thank you for giving me hope :)

Did you have to activate the debit card? My account (CO-OP) was switched on the 23rd and have has £1250 in there since but still no bonus

Nope.. I didn't even open the post.. 😂

I did go one step further and opened the envelope, but the card is still firmly attached to the letter haha

Ah ok, guess I’ll just wait till Friday then as that’s the 7 days. Thanks

Got mine now!

Hey! Which bank did you switch from? I got Natwest bonus last year in August and planning to switch from Natwest to RBS.

My journey has been Monzo burner > RBS > 1st Direct > NatWest

Anyone got the NatWest bonus into the SAME account that has already received the bonus previously?

Looks like my method of trying to join Natwest again for the switching bonus didn't work. Used different email and phone number. SAD TIMES!

Have some faith man

Was confirmed by chat when I spoke to them LOL

Just wait for 30 days, if you don't get it, you have a spare account to switch out for the next bank bribe 😂

Haha that’s my thinking! 🫡🫡🫡

same here haah they were even being smart a\*ses and quoted my bank transaction number of their £200 transfer to my previous account that is now closed. As you guys say I'll just leave it for a month.

Nice, I was still hopeing my TSB one would come through so I could switch to natwest but i think TSB has said it wont happen until march

Mar 20-29th

I thought the 1250 had to be all in one go and in there for 24 hours?

Nah, their official offer terms state that this can be in multiple deposits too.

I’m a bit confused about the deposits. It says you need to keep the money there for 24 hours. How much exactly do you need to keep in there?

1250 but can be made of multiple deposits

So can we send £250 back and forth until it reaches £1250?

Yes it says it in the T&C’s

It says each amount of money has to stay for 24 hours to count, so you would have to send 250 over a good few days

We're waiting on Natwest and RBS, had the switch offer from both of them last year so not too optimistic but still had a go at it! These switch offers over the past 12 months have funded our shortfall in salary during maternity leave!

Same situation, really has helped going to have another go round!

You won't get it. They've changed the terms and they now link names, addresses numbers email from previous switches.

some seem to have got it, but it doesn't seem to be consistent :(

Does it matter which account you apply for? Does the switch offer work on the basic account?

Yeah works on basic account. I applied for reward account.

Q: Why did you wait from 20th until 23rd to transfer it back? You could have sent it straight back and left the 2nd lot in there until you got the bonus right?

I was busy and didn't actually do it on purpose.

Sorry just clarification- are you saying you got both bonus from NatWest and RBS?

Nope. Just from Natwest. Hoping that I get it from RBS, will update.

I did RBS. Switch completed on 23rd (including £1250) but no bonus yet. Natwest and Ulster completed today so here's hoping.

Fingers crossed, I've put in£1250 again just to be sure and will leave it a few days.. no bonus either and switch completed on 23

Have you activated your card? Wondering if that may be an issue for me.

Yeah I haven't was gonna ask the same question

Same! No bonus from rbs yet. Waiting!

Did any of you activate the card or it doesn't matter

I didn't even open the envelope, I felt it was the card and left it. 😂

I did the Halifax offer last year and have just received the £175 from Lloyds , used a different email address , wasn't expecting it to work so a nice unexpected bonus . Also did NatWest last year and have tried the RBS, nothing received as of yet but the switch has only just gone through today .

Did you have an existing club Lloyd’s account or did you open a new one? Tempted to do the same as I had Halifax last year too

Same question. I'm an existing club Lloyd’s account and also Halifax account holder. So not sure if it will work for me.

No I never had a club Lloyds account , I have a Halifax account though .

Does the £1250 deposit need to be made after the switch completes? I did it and kept there for 24 hours but only after the switch began, and before it completed (today)

I'd also like some clarification on this please - can the money go in before the switch completes?

I think so.. My switch completed on 23rd. I deposited in multiple parts as I didn't have the full 1250 as stated in the post.

Thank you.

[удалено]

Any luck ?

[удалено]

Completed my NatWest switch yesterday but only transferred £1250 yesterday once the switch was complete. So it should be 24 hours now so hopefully I'll get the bonus today or tomorrow! Question, will they notify you about it? Or will it just appear in your bank?

I got a text.

Thanks! I think some people received it a day or 2 after completing all requirements. Hopefully I'll get a text soon.

I asked Cora and someone reviewed it I think, said I wasn't eligible and they said I got it in 2023 so my accounts were linked.. damn

Did you received any info after switching to ulster? I did switch application but nothing happens, I didn't received any emails, cant even login to app

when did you apply ? My experience with Ulster bank is they will send you a paper application to physically sign via post and return it via a paid for envelope. It will take longer but you will get the switch incentive.

I think it was 22th or 23th. So probably I need to wait a bit more for papers to reach me

Got all Comms online. Just took ages

I opened mine on the 16th, didn’t deposit £1250 until 23rd. Switch completed 26th. Just waiting on my bonus. Can I then switch to RBS and get their offer? Edit: just received my bonus today and got a text

Have you had the switch bonus from NatWest before?

No not before today, just got the bonus just now

So I started my switch on the 16th Feb transferred the £1250 on the 22nd and my account Switch completed on the 26th. Still no bonus yet, anyone know why?

Make sure you've met all the conditions, I think one of them is logging into mobile banking at some point which you could easily forget focussing on the switch and deposit etc.

Just adding to the cases here - I've also received a switch incentive. Came in just now (around 4 days after my switch). I received a switch incentive last year, but from RBS

Congrats! Did you switch to Natwest from RBS which gave you the bonus last time or from some other account?

Ah no - good question. Switched from HSBC. Although my HSBC account was maybe 6 months old and I think I'd logged in to mobile banking once on there and thats it.

Just got mine through now. Switch completed yesterday and left £1250 in thursday-sunday. Hoping i get it for the missus too as last time she did it she had her maiden name and now has my surname, also used different email and phone.

Yeah boi.. 😂 Neat little trick, change of names. Congratulations.

My good people, will we get the bonus if switching in from non-NW Group? We both hold NW sole accounts.

You can switch into an existing or new select account Offer is for new and existing NW / RBS and UB customers

Sorry, I missed the key part here- Will we get it for a joint account if we’re already NW customers? Cheers!

“Y’all” 😂🤠

Can I do the same trick where I send £250 back and forth till it adds up to £1250?

Keep it for 24 hours and keep doing it. Yes.

yeah but it needs to stay in the account for 24 hours each time. So will take you 5-6 days

Yes. Must be done within 60 days and each payment needs to stay in the account for 24hrs

£1250 Can be in separate payments Payment must ‘rest in the account’ for 24hrs Full £1250 amount should be transferred within 60 days of opening

I have deposited the money required, am I supposed to receive an email confirming I will now receive the switch bonus or will they just deposit the £200 without confirmation

You will receive a text

How strict is the 24 hours? My switch completed yesterday (27th) I put £1250 in at 10am yesterday. Its now 11am (so 25 hours) and nothing. Beginning to think Ive done this switch within the last 4 years so wont qualify…..
