    Yes I read your post ........ just couldn't believe that anyone would have a useable link and then decide to DIY for a fresh one!

    Simple - whenever I see an offer like this put up on a 3rd party site, I always go direct through the website to see if I can find the offer. See if it's legit & if it isn't listed then why.


    Nothing wrong with that.

    Rather helpfully, this deal isn't confined to the Potteries.

    Britannia/Co-op also cater for Londoners and Wearsiders with their partnerships with Chelsea and Sunderland respectively...

    Wow this is great! So you don't have to be a stoke fan haha!
    But how would they prove that you are a football fan (stoke, manchester, chelsea etc)? As you could essentially lie, but how would they check? Or would they not inforce this that heavily into the T&Cs? As it mentions that you just have to be fan, along with other conditions to be eligible for the switch...I do like a Chelsea a bit (not a big fan though :p) and am really tempted by this £100 offer but how they test i am a true Chelsea fan?

    Thanks

    The application contains a multiple choice questionaire that you only have 1 attempt at and must be completed within 5 minutes. Real Chelsea fans will know all the answers easily and so will complete it in far less time.

    Or, more likely, clicking the link will be proof enough. Why else would you be on a football associations webpage?

    Do note however that your chequebook and bank card will be in the team colours* ;)

    (Not checked, but some banks and credit card companies have been known to do this!)

    I got no such multiple choice on my application.

    Anyway, i can only imagine that the applicant gets switching forms because there was no option to include switching info for me.

    If not, then this account will be over before it's begun for me!

    How long do you have to feed the account with £800 pcm before getting the £100 bonus ?

    And do you need DD/SO like most reward switching offers ?

    The offer T&Cs are accessible from the link in the first post.

    Emailed them to ask how this switching system & the £100 bonus works.

    Still waiting on a reply.
