switching offers -where have they all gone?

Hi all,
I had planned to do a sequence of switches all in succession to get the switching bonuses. The first one, with First Direct, took a bit longer than I thought. By the time I'd applied, waited for the switch over, waited till I could pay in the minimum amount then waited for the bonus to be paid, it was probably about 6 weeks all in.
But now I look and see most of the offers have gone and Halifax, which remains, has dropped in value?
Will they come back? I had planned to do at least another 3 and to get over £500 in switching bonuses.

Next time do 2 or 3 in parallel. Almost every offer has a "we reserve the right to withdraw this offer at any time" clause.0

As I was starting from scratch, the advice received said to do one at a time, so that's what my plan was. How often do these offers come back up?0

It's anyone's guess. Keeping an eye on this forum is a good way to find out about offers quite early on.danlightbulb wrote: »How often do these offers come back up?
In the meantime, use the current lull to get ready with some donor accounts and DD facilities you can invoke quickly. Don't be disappointed if it was a waste of time as there is no guarantee there will ever be any switching offer again. But then there might, and hopefully will, be, and you probably don't want to miss out again.0 -
It's a waiting game :rotfl:If you change nothing, nothing will change!!0
