It depends on the specific bank's T&C and the T&C of the particular offer.

Are you just talking about cashback (from a cashback site) or switching incentives?

Many banks will only pay a switching incentive once.

Just talking about the banking bribe.

I doubt it.

Which incentive do you want to get, I can't find anything apart from the refer a friend deal.

I was thinking the co op deal

alternate

Almost every (I would say every but have not read them all myself) T&C excludes you getting the offer twice.

I believe Yorkshire bank once failed to include such an exclusion and many people cashed in. I imagine most banks will have heeded their misfortune.

Same advice as a year ago, check the Ts& Cs to see if you're eligible:
http://www.co-operativebank.co.uk/currentaccounts/currentaccount#switchingTsCs

On the Coop banking home page, under the headline:

£150

New customers must complete a full switch to The Co-operative Bank using the Current Account Switch Service and switch at least 4 active Direct Debits.
Offer can be withdrawn at any time.
Excludes recipients of previous switching incentives.
Terms apply.

It's difficult to miss . . .

You aren't 'reopening' an account! You can open a new one, Nationwide won't give you an incentive unless its Refer a Friend subject to its T&C.

And there you have it. Its all down to individual account, Co-op whoever, T&C which means reading up all the boring stuff to make sure it suits you as an individual.

You mention Nationwide then Co-op it doesn't add up!:cool:

There's a Quick Link at the head of this page to Best Bank Accounts, worth a read to get you started.

Halifax won't give you another incentive if you've had one previously.
