Yorkshire & Clydesdale Banks offering £150 for switching

mhuk01

Apologies if this question has already been asked (it's a long thread!)...

I opened a YorkshireBank account, and have just received the £150 incentive. Is it possible for me to now open and switch my YB acct to Clydesdale? Has anyone successfully done this? I'm basically looking for my next switching incentive oppurtunity.

I applied on Friday and arranged my phone interview for today. I have been called today and told they have been inundated with people applying and I would now have to wait until Wednesday to be called by someone who can process my application. So I think the chances of me getting the offer have taken a nose dive unless it is extended

Staff have been telling people that as long as you have opened the account by phone and requested the switch by closing time on Saturday (28th) then you will qualify for the incentive – even if you don’t get the switch forms back to them (or indeed haven’t received them) by then.

However if they really are snowed under maybe it might be a good idea if they just confirmed the offer was being extended to let March. Of course if they are changing the offer in some way (why else delay?) – then they can’t.

You can of course switch your account from YB to CB – but you almost certainly won’t get the £150 incentive for it. While the terms don’t explicitly rule out CB/YB switches I would assume it has to be a switch from a different bank. So there would be no point – unless you prefer the colour red to blue or live in Scotland.

A similar issue applies for Halifax – you won’t get their switch incentive if you switch from a Bank of Scotland account as BoS own them. Although you can switch a Lloyds account to Halifax and qualify – even though they are the parent company of both!

Clydesdale won't pay you £150 for transferring your Yorkshire account to them.

Out of interest...has anyone managed to get a dozen by or cb accounts?

I bet it's a difficult call to make!

Is the incentive still coming through circa 36 days after the switch?

It has been 33 days since my first switch. I haven't received anything.

My first one arrived last week, 35 days after the switch date.
