    exactly a early Christmas bonus, if they want to give away money like that then so be it, let the switching commence.

    Can't seem to apply online though which seems a bit backwards.

    looks like im having myself £150 for christams

    Be prepared that this will be Christmas 2015 as opening a current account with CB/YB has historically been painfully slow.

    Still a good offer.

    Tempting but a bank that doesn't accept online applications?, no thanks. I presume everything is done by snail mail too.

    You also get it 60 days after the first qualifying £1000 has been paid in so think of it has a boost for January after we're all skint!

    So that initial £1000, does it have to stay in there or can it be transferred out in those 60 days?
