How quickly can I switch?

Hi,
I recently switched an old account to Coop to take advantage of their joining offer - about 2-3 months ago. The switch fully completed but I believe the autoforwarding element of the switch might still be active. My partner has just had an email from Nationwide offering a switching bonus for both of us.
is it ok to switch my Coop account across to Nationwide already? Could it be an issue if the autoforwarding is still active? I'm a home owner and have a mortgage and no previous credit issues so no big concerns about credit rating.

Auto forwarding lasts for 36 months, so you will have a long wait.0

Ah, thought it was a lot shorter than that! Can you switch with autoforwarding still active - presumably so if it lasts that long?0

Go ahead and switch.
Was the Nationwide email about their standard refer-a-friend offer of £100 each, or a different offer?0 -
