    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.

    I was able to combine Nationwide RAF with Topcashback incentive so good chance that it will work with Quidco too (even though Nationwide said to me that term 11 of the RAF T&C included cashback offers through such third party websites).

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

    Are yo saying then it would be possible to switch 1 of our 123 accounts and still keep the other going?

    We have a joint and a single 123. Would it matter which to switch?

    If you are using those accounts to their full extent already, I'd instead be opening another non-123 account simply to use for switching (and setting up a couple of DDs on it as well). Why switch an account that's actually still earning money...

    And yes, that's exactly the situation I'm in now :p
