TSB C/A switch free overnight hotel

veryintrigued

For those of you who have a spare account and fancy a night away:

Switching your day-to-day current account is simple and right now if you do switch your everyday banking to a TSB Classic or Classic Plus account, we’ll treat you to a night in a hotel for two.

To qualify for your night away you'll need to:
Switch to a Classic or Classic Plus account using our Current Account Switch Service by 1 September 2015.
Transfer all incoming payments like your salary, and all outgoing payments like Direct Debits, from your old account and close it.
Have at least two Direct Debits set up after the switch.

This website looks like phishing.

It does a bit but it is genuine. But the offer isn't open to everybody as the (emailed) T&Cs state: This offer is only available to selected customers in direct receipt of this email.

If (and I mean IF) this is legit, it's a great example of banks royally confusing the hell out of people with what is and what is not a legitimate way of providing information/receiving offers etc, and is no wonder people fall for fraud.

A website asking for full name, address and email address details all submitted via a totally unsecured connection, using a nonspecific domain name registered to a sole trader in Cheshire, hosted from Germany (using a shared hosting provider not related to TSB's proper sites).

I wouldn't give it the time of day, let alone my full contact info.

Lloyds used to offer this some years ago - can't remember what they were seling at the time.
Probably pinched the idea from that.

Are, come on they are the first fourteen words in the T&C that were Emailed today. Hardly buried away in some obscure sub category .

Those who are entitled to this offer will have had an email or a letter from TSB and will know that the offer is genuine.

Although I agree, IT professionals will probably consider it a bit amateurish. It's all been done by the Marketing department.

Buried enough for someone who already knew the offer wasnt for them - so I didnt feel the need to open the T&C on the attachment.

I'd be interested how tightly TSB monitor the tie up between email despatch and applicant especially as the 'register website' is pretty open - probably a lot more vigorously now Ive posted this!

Sorry if Ive upset you.

If you click on the link all the hotels seem to be in Scotland - mostly the Highlands.

Will TSB pay for your train fares or petrol?:D

Do the T&Cs say they will?
