switching before DDS are set up

joeblags

ive set up 2 DDS with my TSB account so I can switch to co-op for the £100, the dd's arnt yet showing in tsb but seeing as it takes a week to do the switch inaway do you think id get away with going applying today in branch to switch to co-op ?

I wouldn't risk it personally. Indeed, I always let my DDs pull once before initiating a switch. Are these Tesco DDs or utility/credit card etc DDs?

one is a Tesco savers and the other a credit card

If you're adamant you want to start the switch you'd better select a day well in advance...just in case the DDs don't appear on TSB, and you'll then have time to stop/postpone it whilst you chase them up.


Obviously you've read the T&Cs and seen that if you haven't requested the switch within 14 days of account opening (if done online?) you'll forfeit the cash if they pull the offer in the interim?


Tesco DDs should appear within 2-3 working days. Not sure about the credit card.

think Ill leave it a couple more days then. I was planning on doing it in branch and setting up the whole account inc the switch while I was there.
