  • It was successful and I will even get the 1st month's fiver :) Now I need to wait and see if it tracked via Quidco.
    You will only fail to learn if you do not learn from failing.

    I switched through Quidco last night and it has tracked.
    I didn't know anything about DDs and Quidco though.
    I will set the DD's up once I know my Halifax details.

    I have also had a text from Halifax telling me the switch is in progress and one from RBS to say they are sorry I'm leaving.

    All seems to be happening very fast!
  • Does anyone know if you have to start the switch as soon as you open the account?

    I have a couple of switches to other banks that I am waiting for the payout on.

    I was wondering if I could just use the offer to open an account today and then do the switch when an account becomes free.

    Thanks

    You can choose switch date, e.g. in three week time. You better hurry up as the cashback expires tomorrow.

  • Inspireme247 thanks. If I can put in an advanced switch date all should be fine.
