They revoked those original terms and amended them to allow balances transferred as part of the switch to qualify for the £1000 pay in (these revised terms also opened up the floodgates to multiple switches).

Ohhhhhh ok - I copied and pasted those terms from the first page of this thread BUT

I've just checked my terms and conditions and they still say to credit the account with £1000 AFTER the switch. I think mine are the revised ones which you are refering to as I switched in February.

My last switch date was 19.03.15 and has been paid so tinsoldier's £150 is very late if their switch was on the 17.03.15

For the latter 2 sets of T&Cs, balances transferred as part of a switch definitely counted for the funding requirement.

Where does it say that in the terms and conditions?

I hope you're right, I'm going to kick myself if I've ballsed this up! I asked the person who took my application if the 1000 could be part of the switch, and he said yes, so that gives me hope. Did anyone fund the 1000 as part of the switch and receive the 150?

The 1st issue prohibited any funds transferred on the switch date.

The 2nd issue didn't!

Again, as I've said before, its just as important to read what the T&Cs don't say, as it is to read what they do say.

Plus, and this is the clincher, the advertising blurb for the 2nd issue switches (ie the pre T&Cs info) on their respective websites specifically said that transferred funds counted.

Yes, twice. Both switched late February, early March.

Is this an empirical experience?
It can be just me, but I don't see anything in the T&C clearly saying this.
