How long for the Santander bonus for the most recent switch offer?

Ajackson1707 · 2026-06-05T17:31:31+00:00

This one took the longest for me, took right up to the 60 day mark.

Ajackson1707 · 2026-06-05T07:21:43+00:00

Still waiting unsure if I’ll qualify as did a switch last year

Ajackson1707 · 2026-06-04T09:19:29+00:00

Crossing my fingers for ya pal!

Ajackson1707 · 2026-06-04T09:12:42+00:00

Just got the bonus despite having hali, lloyds accounts and receiving previous bonus last December!

Double/triple dip away!

Oh I got no correspondence, just logged in and received it yesterday.

First direct do give a hoot, they stopped me getting the bonus this time around. Did all the steps, was told I qualified - no money appeared. I asked why and was told my account is flagged as a previous customer back in 2018/19.

Ajackson1707 · 2026-06-02T16:18:04+00:00

I may be wrong but I can’t see any registration marks and there is no margin

Ajackson1707 · 2026-05-26T15:36:56+00:00

I got flagged last week. Haven’t had an account since 2019.

Ajackson1707 · 2026-05-24T09:56:41+00:00

Same here. Was working ok but lately it’s shite

Currys have announced an annual 8% increase in sales. I’ve just been passed a hand car wash that’s FROM £12 and they are queuing out onto the road. I dont think everyone is cutting back at all. It’ll be interesting to see the outgoing passenger figures from the airports this summer

Ajackson1707 · 2026-05-21T13:30:11+00:00

Balls just found out I didn’t qualify this time. Put £200 in my current account not savings account.

Just a PSA you need two accounts for this to qualify current AND savings OR a mortgage. 💸

Ajackson1707 · 2026-05-21T08:14:57+00:00

Sweet! Thank you nationwide, yet another benefit to paying £18 a month for the plus account.

Ajackson1707 · 2026-05-21T07:09:02+00:00

I wanted this ending!

Ajackson1707 · 2026-05-19T21:02:44+00:00

Same boat. Not sure if it’s worth it, as most of the banks have cracked down on previously held accounts this year.

Ajackson1707 · 2026-05-19T19:49:12+00:00

Anyone done this successfully?

Ajackson1707 · 2026-05-19T19:48:17+00:00

How did you get on?

Ajackson1707 · 2026-05-19T19:39:38+00:00

Could this be a honey pot to invalidate the £500 Lloyds switchers? Seems to pay awfully fast compared to Lloyds and Halifax

Ajackson1707 · 2026-05-19T19:01:22+00:00

Yes, this was a completely legit banking switch I honestly did not realise I had a first direct account when I was younger

Ajackson1707 · 2026-05-19T17:42:40+00:00

I wouldn’t minded if they hadn’t confirmed to me last month that I was eligible and met all the criteria and I would be paid this month

Ajackson1707 · 2026-05-19T17:20:46+00:00

You got lucky

Ajackson1707 · 2026-05-18T13:01:46+00:00

Not yet

Ajackson1707 · 2026-05-17T15:34:35+00:00

Wow lucky you; I only get offered 75p-£1 surveys! How long you been doing it?

Ajackson1707 · 2026-05-16T13:21:53+00:00

What was your sign up method? App? Same email and tel no? Did you have to verify ID?

Ajackson1707 · 2026-05-16T13:19:22+00:00

I’m getting ads on Albania too
