    Both our switch dates were 13 March and the £800 payment in was 16 March.

    I wasn't expecting the £100 bonus to be paid until the first week in May, but I have just checked and we have both been paid the £100 bonus. :D

    £100 paid two days ago. Eagerly waiting for Tesco account now.
  • I took up the offer of £100 for switching bank accounts.

    I paid in £800
    27/02/2014 Co-Op £800.00

    And received this credit to my account
    02/04/2014 CREDIT. 020414 £100.00

    Is this £100 the switching offer?
    Also there has been no mention of their offer to pay money to a charity.

    Probably is the switching bonus, unless you expected £100 from elsewhere.

    Your switching confirmation letter mentions the payment to charity and a website related to it. I posted about this earlier in this thread. It is all very amateurish and I am less than convinced that they will ever pay anything to any charity in relation to my switch (or to yours, or to anyone else's).

    Is anyone planning to switch straight after the £100 has been paid?

    I switch last month on the 17th and I'm still waiting for my £100!

    Switch to where? Any of the compulsive/turned-on switchers will have done FD, Halifax and Coop so won't have anywhere else to go for the time being.

    Nationwide?

    Many of the people you talk of will be sitting on one or more FlexDirect accounts after the 5% AER intro rate ended. Switching an account with 2 DDs to these under their refer-a-friend scheme will make £50 (and £50 for the person referring).

    I just opened a Halifax Reward account today and will be using my Coop when I have set up 2 DDs on it for the switch!
