Why rush to close it, keep it open for a donor account for the next switching offer

Or you could switch out - and then switch back again into a new account if the CB/YB offer is extended to the end of March as is rumoured but not confirmed. Not sure how they would react to that - but who can say!

I've just been on hold for 50 minutes, in a queue supposedly, only to be cut off at 8pm sharp when the office closes:o

Previously I got through within a minute. I don't think its simply that applications have increased, wonder if their phone system recognises numbers that have called before and applied for the switch and keep putting those numbers to the back of the queue?!:cool:

No - I expect they have kept the lines open for their No 1 customer - Yorkshire Boy - as he is planning to open a further 10 accounts!:D

I expect they are just very busy - as its getting near 28 Feb! Given the week turnaround for forms its getting close to the wire now. They may of course extend - but why not announce it now to reduce the call volumes?

How many is he on now? I got through straight away each time I called today, weirdly.

No - Yorkshire Boy does not use phone. He lives next door to his bank:) Yorkshire Bud, move closer!

Eleven...but I'm through now! 6 in the bag, 2 more next week, and 3 next month.

Any more than £1,650 is just being greedy.

I'm wanting to switch to Co-op to get their bonus.

Are you able to open multiple accounts with the same bank? Or is there some little quirk you have to go through?

Yes. The only little quirk you need is to have the confidence to do it!
