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

    24th - 23rd. Two £800 lump sums and the next ones being a mixture of smaller deposits when I had transferred various savings income payments into the new account.

    Like I said before that's (24th - 23rd) the only logical approach, as otherwise anyone with a transfer date very close to a month end would likely not have sufficient time to make the first payment before that same month end.

    The Co-op pride themselves in being an ethical bank, so I don't believe the Co-op would deliberately put such an obstacle towards qualifying into the offer.

    Looks like everyone is getting paid regardless of when they deposited and they arent holding anyone to the calendar month definition. Nice one Co-op.

    Got my £200 today without having to call CS. Didn't receive any letters (my payments were not exactly on the calendar month apart from the first but rather when I got paid).

    Even went overdrawn once (forgot an SO) and didn't get charged.

    Nice one co-op!
