Current Account Switching Fatigue...

Harveys_2
Posts: 217 Forumite
This year I switched 10 current accounts to Yorkshire Bank and 1 to Halifax.
I am yet to switch to Nationwide, Marks & Spencer, and to the Co op but I just can't get motivated to get going.
Is it just me? Or others out there like me?

10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And they allowed it?
I doubt you can switch all 10 but as many as you can its worth it.0 -
I think with YB it was the thrill of the chase.. Seeing how many we could open before the deadline.
We've had a Halifax account for about a year but never switched and only just switched to nationwide now that they've increased it to £100 each.0 -
have only switched the one to HSBC! but it involved a lot of other perks too and used 3 hours +!
Thinking of switching to Yorkshire... I have one sleeping a/c!
All the rest are working for their living either earning interest or giving hand outs!! have spent a happy half hour working out how the cash does the 'tour de banks!' Actually cancelled one SO wrongly!.... quickly re-instated.Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

I've made approx £780 interest in the last 12 months out of current accounts alone. I know others must have made substantially more. Surely worth the minimal hassle. It's money making more money after all.0

it reads to me as though Harveys has completed all 10, Paul, and yes, that is possible. i just did 6:o.. and then moved them all away again-their service was desperate!!
not really sure what the point of the question is though, Harveys. if you aren't motivated to switch again, don't. but you are motivated enough to tell us you can't get motivated;)
fwiw, i would switch to all 3 of those providers, and have done myself this year.0
