Co-Op bank - £200 if you switch to them

Goonie

I had no problems with the switching, it all ran really smoothly and was done quickly. I haven't had any problems apart from the security measures, the ancient internet banking, and the possibility I may not even receive the £200 as their definition of a 'month' may differ to mine. Other than that, I'm happy with Co-op

Don't give up.Just like u, I also "misunderstood" what a "month" is!!!
Me and my OH applied, and remitted on same dates and my OH has been paid after being told by the CS that the remittances were invalid.
So I also rang the CS again,and was told that my remittances do qualify and wait till 15th March as they are bogged down with this reward business:j
Consider ringing them up once and get logged in their system

My switch over date was 22nd November.

Checked my account around 9am this morning and not received anything but just checked now (11:40am) and there was the £200!!

This is a bit closer to my switch date (24th) so hopefully I'll be getting mine soon :j

Anyone else with a switch date on or after 22nd Nov been paid?

they'd make a "notepad" for the next time I did "armchair" banking. I asked what the heck they meant by "armchair" banking, and was told it meant 'phoning their CS. So why not use the correct term for it?

The Co-op have always referred to telephone banking as "Armchair Banking", nothing new just the term they have used since the mists of time...................

Switch date 23/11; £200 bonus paid today 7/3 - off to spend it tomorrow.

As I have said before, I am staying with Co-op having been a satisfied customer in the past who only left because of moving to a remote location which needed internet banking, which the Co-op did not offer at that time.

So I got the £200 for doing what I was going to do anyway - result!

I had a call from Customer Service last night apologising for the letter than was sent out to me, and a few others, in error.

I said thank you for taking the trouble to get in touch but, as I had posted earlier, I had already received the £200 before the letter arrived anyway!

Received mine (sometime yesterday). Transfer date was 23/11.

Goonie

I will hopefully get mine today then

harz and milarky, out of interest did you follow the calendar month approach or 24th - 24th?
