I tried it, and if you're altering the amount by a big leap then it'll still go via snail payments...

When you say a big leap, do you know what sort of big leap? I've just changed a £5 standing order (that has only gone once so far) to a £1,000 (to transfer the £1K back to the bank it'll be sent from for the £1K funding terms). Do you think that'll go by FP?

I started with either £1 or £10, I forget. When I switched it to £300 it didn't go by FP. This was about 3 months ago...

I started the S/O with £1 and amended it to £1001 which went via FP.

Good to know this, ...

Considering the previous post, Is it hit and miss or there is something need to be done to go over FP ?

Given this is Santander we're talking about; I'd suggest its hit and miss.

I've had a Santander current account for around 12 months now and received cash back from Quidco when I originally opened this account, I was thinking of opening another account with Santander via Quidco or TCB to receive cash back a second time around. Will I need to close my other account first or can i leave it open and running and has any one else received 2 lots of cash back on Santander accounts.
All help welcomed

Your account needs to have been closed 3 months or longer to qualify.

Your account doesn't need to be closed to benefit from TopCashBack cashback (£55), you're allowed 2 Preferred Current Accounts, but if you wanted to benefit from the £100 Santander switching cashback you would have to not held an account with Santander or its associate companies for 3 months.

well regarding the transferring of money btwn 2 santander ac's to get the £100, thats what we have been doing so I can get a personal account and we also have joint account, latter opened first money paid from husbands HSBC into my account I transfer it to the joint (as I don't work so don't have income required for decent account!)..we just got paid the £100 in this week having opened the account on 1st July...i don't qualify for the £100 i assume already being a customer albeit in joint account....silly I should have opened a first direct account using referral from husband who is just opening new FD so would both qualify for bonus payment....hum should do this the more I think about it, seems silly as no incentive for us to have ac's with same bank...
