My completion date was 10th November, but nothing in my account yet - good to see others have received, so sounds like only a matter of time. If nothing by end of the month, I will give them a tinkle (sounds weird when you write it down!)0

I did the online switch about 22/10 - ish. I applied online on 18/10. Not had my £200 yet. I did go overdrawn though so I hope that has not gone against me???0

Completion on 15/11/2011 according to their letter.
However, the £800 minimal payment in November took place a few days earlier (on the 11th). The letter with the completion date arrived a after the first minimal payment had already been made.
Further minimal payments were then made on: 01 Dec, 06 Dec, 20 Dec, 26 Jan, 15 Fev.
Would it be reasonable to assume that their system will "see" the minimal payment that took place a few days before the completion date on the letter?
I also wonder how they define "month". If the completion date was on the 15th of November, do you need to make pay in £800 before the 15th of December or before the 1st of December?
It is all sounding a little ambiguous to me now and I fear that they will not pay me the incentive.
Many thanks0 -
myn has come today also 18/11 was my switch dateDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0
