Switching for £100 bonus.

If you don't have a number of current accounts to transfer around to get the £100 bonus's on offer. I understand from a previous reply on here you can just open a new account anywhere and then transfer that. Surely just switching an account which has only been open for a couple days somebody would smell a rat as to what you are doing. Has anyone actually done this and found it does work ok.

    One of the bank employees reading this forum will answer this question. Or may be they'll just discuss it at work.
  • i have just switched a dormant account that i did not use and got my £100 incentive. Am not sure there are any rats to smell, almost like supermarket price wars if you think about it
