    I opened a Clydesdale account on the deadline day (30/11/2015) with a switch later in December. I received the incentive payment today (09/02)!

    Could you let me know what date in December? Thanks
  • Got mine today too.
  • I have, a week before the deadline they gave me.

    Well well well, transferred switch date was on Dec 9th, still havent received the bonus payment so called up today to query it and was told I wasn't eligibke as had missed the payment in Jan. I made the first payment within 31 days of the switch completing and the second payment within the next 31 days after the switch, this is how it was explained to me on the phone. I have raised a complaint, lets see what comes of this. Will be extremely annoyed if they penalise me for being misinformed by them.!


    Same here for Mrs B

    Got some bulsh*t about missing a payment bewteen 17th Dec and 17th Jan, which seems to suggest they are now applying the current T*C's to the last offer.
    Also about not transferring 2 DD across from the old account-which was true but the Nov offer did not stipulate this (IIRC).

    Neither of those terms was in the November offer

    Has anyone got the original T*C's for the Nov 2015 deadline offer as the T*C's for the current offer are substanitally different.

  • Yeh I got sent the November T&Cs in an email when I opened the account. They gave me the same sh&t about missing the 2nd payment as it was over 31 days and I stated that my terms only say once a month, not specific days and she just wouldn't accept that. Also said their paperwork only shows 1 DD that switched over even though I've 3, so somehow 2 DD have switched with no trace of them whatsoever. They offered me £50 as "goodwill" and im taking that and switching to Yorkshire to get my £150.
    Their new T&Cs do state 31days now so they're clearly rejecting people based on this instead of the old T&Cs that people signed up to.

  • I got mine, switched from tsb with two credit card direct debits. they just put it in your account but if you haven't got it. That's terrible sorry about that
  • I have done plenty of switches in my time but this one went wrong as apparently I didn't have two active DD's as part of the switch. I was gutted until I read the T&Cs for the most recent incentive. It is quite clear in the first paragraph that you can be an existing YB/Clydesbank Customer, and as I haven't benefited from this offer before, I am hoping that two months time I will get the incentive. This time I have made sure that the switch underway, to the same account, has four DD's!
