So I have fleeced:
First Direct joining and leaving
Halifax
M&S
Cooperative Bank
Yorkshire Banks
Nationwide via Top Cashback.
Seems I have missed the boat on the HSBC offer.
I don't think I can repeat all of the above as they seem to have a time limit and I think First Direct remember if you have joined and left and been paid for doing so.
My question is who is left to do this to? None of the usual banks like Barclays and NatWest ever seem to offer joining incentives. Maybe their customers never leave.

You could try Nationwide again, but this time via Quidco (less money usually but they do special rates now and then). It needs a switch.
And you could try Coop again, but via TCB or Quidco incentives (again maybe waiting until the rate goes up to £80ish - it tends to be less normally). Again it needs a switch.
Edited to add: And consider Smile via Quidco - Smile are part of Coop but seem to act independently for cashback deals.0 -
No fewer than 3 ways to "fleece" Nationwide again.
M&S for a giftcard.0 -

Apparently 10 ways. If you get 10 people to switch you get 10 x £100Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0 -
Smile is just £40 via quidco. Its better than nothing. I am sure at one time you could repeat the switching every six months on the ones direct with banks.
I remember Alliance and Leicester you culd get £100 every six months.
Has anyone repeated the First Direct one? It was ages ago I did that - back in 2010 I think. I'd have thought there should be a time limit on how long places keep people's data?0 -
I notice SMILE are offering £100 like the coop - but having been a coop switcher would I be entitled to the smile £100?0

TSB have had a deal recently.. perhaps again soon:think:
can repeat Nationwide and Co-op, given time.
and you haven't mentioned Santander.. have been deals in the past, and still one to be had, apparently0
