    Do you get the hundred pounds if you switch to the moneyback account. I can't quite work it out as it gives you the three options at the bottom of the t and c's. It says £100 cb on a current account which this is so does it work out that you get £100 cb plus money back everytime you use your debit card? Hope this makes sense.

    cheers everyone

    Hi all. I have applied for this.
    I have a question about the switching process however.. (switching from A&L prem direct acct, currently with 6 standing orders and 1 d.debit set up).

    Do they:
    a) Clone the ddebits and s.orders, but leave them active in A&L account.
    b) Clone the ddebits and s.orders, but delete them in A&L account.
    c) Clone the ddebits and s.orders, and CLOSE the A&L account.

    If c, is it my responsibility to get the money out of the A&L account, or do they transfer that too?

    Thanks.

    Do you think I could switch bank account I never use and get the £100. I would make 2 payments in of £1000 each?

    Would I have to close my existing current account with another provider or could I keep that going and just transfer all my standing orders and direct debits etc?
