£125 for switcher and £25 for recommender plus you get free european travel insurance and 0 % overdraft for 12 months, seems a good deal, combine this through top cashback/quidco for an extra £50, so you could make £200 plus below added perks by switching over. Only stipulation is you will have to pay in £500 a month every month which you can then withdraw/transfer next day.

  • This is the link you first posted which does look suspiciously like an affiliate link but i may be wrong. May just be because you cut and pasted it into your post though.[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

    How long does it take for Alliance and Leicester to credit the account with the £100?

    They take four months to pay you. Note that one of the conditions is that you have to switch all your direct debits to the new account - if you don't have any direct debits, then they won't give you any money.

    Shame really...DH doesn't want to switch our joint account, but I don't have any DDs on my own account! :(

  • Go through Quidco (not referal) and get an extra £50

  • i got refused cos they do credit checks
  • Debtoxing you could just sign up to the magazine subscription on quidco to get a direct debit.

    £5.00 from Let's Subscribe received
    you get three magazines for £1, once direct debit has switched over (takes about a month) cancel magazine subscription. In essence you are £4 up from cashback and have a direct debit. Just make sure you cancel after it has transferred.

    I believe this would work.
