When do A&L credit £100 for switching accounts?

Hi,

Just a quick question
I have switched my current account to A&L using the dd switching service.

Can anyone tell me when they credit the £100 to your account?
I have paid into the account the necessary amount of money and it has been nearly fifteen weeks since the account was opened.

Thanks!

    I think it's 11 weeks? Im possibly considering switching my account to santander but im being so cautious im not sure what to do? How was your process with A+L? They are 4 weeks late a bit naughty!:beer:
    It takes two to tango!:rotfl:
  • The switching was fine actually, no probs at all!
    Didn't know it was meant to be 11 weeks- I will have to phone them then...

    I just applied for an A&L account last week and then got the welcome letter. How long did it take for them to switch everything over?
    It said they'd match my current overdraft limit too. But on the welcome letter, it says my overdraft limit is only £120. My account with Lloyds is £2000, a graduate account.

    My account was only set up 2 weeks ago and i received the £100 on the 29th June, the day after my salary had gone in.

    The process to switch took around 3 weeks
