Which 'this' were you referring to from the post you quoted? I can confirm that a security token is needed to transfer £1000 within online banking in one payment, but (before ordering said token) I was able to make four transfers of £250 one immediately after the other, so not the most restrictive of controls!

For the other points, I presume that the other poster meant that paying slips were needed specifically for paying in funds over the counter in branch and I have no idea what they meant by the significance of a 'financial day' but the vast majority of banks treat weekends as non-working days.

Thanks eskbanker. I was referring to both of those. I have managed to make the 2 £1000 payments so am hoping that is enough. I didn't need a security token to do it.

I (as with the earlier poster) was referring to a security token being needed to transfer £1000 out of your CB/YB account elsewhere, have you succeeded in doing that without the token?

Just received my £150 incentive payment! No dramas and no paying in slips requested. I didn't even know about them till I read it on here! I did pay £1000 in and out every couple of weeks though to make sure I didn't miss out by a day on the 31 day requirement.

God no. I don't think they have made this very clear. I had no idea I had to do this. Thanks for alerting me.

I followed the terms given here as I switched just after this was posted. I have met all the criteria I think. It doesn't mention paying any money out. ? I have set up the DDs and am about to pay my next £1000 in.

You don't have to pay money out, people just assume you wouldn't want to leave it in if you can earn more interest elsewhere.

To be fair, Clydesdale do publish the different transaction limits applicable with or without security tokens (£25,000 and £500 respectively) at http://www.cbonline.co.uk/personal/ways-of-banking/internet-banking/

Oh I see. I did move some money back out but probably not more than £500.

I received my £150 switching bonus today (the switch was done on or about 24th March). Very happy

Thank you to everyone on this forum for drawing attention to these deals - it's the first time I have taken advantage of one, and it was useful to have people explain the 'small print' clearly.

Smile offer ends 31 May. Coop still says "can be withdrawn at any time". Although Coop are still advertising it in the press, so might last longer.
