Best Bank Account Through Not Switching

TheGame21

I'm looking to open a new bank account (additional one) and have already switched with the one account I already have. Can anyone recommend the best rewarding accounts out there?

Rewarding in what sense?

Did you check the Best Bank accounts link at the top of the page?

Sorry meant rewards for opening e.g saw that you can get cashback with some.

Where did you see that? What's the best you've seen so far?

Rewards for opening are only for switching, which you say you don't want to do.

You could open up an additional account and switch that one, then you could get a bonus.

There was one with co-op which was with £170 cashback from Topcashback however that is now reduced. There is a thread on it on this forum.

Yep that is the eventual intention however just wondered whether there were any introductory offers apart from interest rates.

I don't think it was that much was it?

The list of current switching offers is here...

In addition, there's a Nationwide refer a friend offer, and also some offers on Quidco and Topcashback. It's possible the Nationwide RAF and Quidco can be combined, netting £175.

Thanks for the link, had a look through those and checked on Quidco but all the offers seem to be for switching.

To be fair to the OP, I've only just seen the light as regards to switching incentives. Until a few weeks ago I hadn't got my head round the mechanics of it and though it would all be too much of a faff to do.

But having since worked out that there's the best part of £1000 in direct incentives up for grabs, not to mention loads of linked high interest savings accounts... Well, I'm converted now. For the sake of a bit of work, it will be well worth it I reckon...

If I was to open a second current account tomorrow I'd personally probably plump for TSB. 5% on balances up to £2000 and up to £5 cashback on contactless transaction - I'd earn half of that through routine bus fares alone.
