Yorkshire & Clydesdale Banks offering £150 for switching

starM

I wanted to open up another account but I'm sure the adviser will ask me allot of reasons - What are the best reasons to open up a 3rd account??

Phoned to apply for YB Plus but my ID failed...first time it happened to me. Guess a visit to branch tomorrow and get it sorted.

£450 is better than £300.


Main income
Secondary income (consultancy, part-time job etc)
Bills & Expenses
Budgeting reasons
Etc

Opening 2 at a time minimises the number of 'awkward' telephone/branch conversations.

Hi YB!

I"m waiting for my switch incentive. Are we all saying you can open multiple accounts and potentially get a switch incentive for each?

I like your thinking.........

to the above comment.

Not quoting though.

Approaching two months since opening on the phone and despite a number of phone calls to various departments I STILL have not received the "switching pack"/form to enable me to switch an account to them. It wasn't included with the forms you had to sign to open (that took 3 weeks to arrive). This has to be the most long winded account opening ever - I seem to have been selected for the treatment as from comments on here others have had a relatively quick experience.

If it were a "normal" account switch rather than simply a means to bag £150 I would have closed it and walked away by now.

Have run out of accounts to switch, used 3 NW Flex accs, would it be feasible to open 3 more Flex then switch them?

Sounds like the incentive is posting a month after both conditions (switch and £1k credit) have been met.

Im sure I know the answer but I'm guessing you can't switch from CB+ to YB+? If not, any suggestions of what to switch my CB+ to next after the incentive has been paid? (Already had FD and M&S)

Thanks

I think Halifax are still offering £100 to switch.
