TSB Classic Acc Plus £100 joining incentive

Canny_mal

I was just wondering whether anyone who switched to TSB while MSE was running their £100 joining promotion which ended on 8th Feb 2016 has actually received the money?

I jumped through all the hoops.....allowed cookies, clicked on the link, used the switching service, brought over 2 direct debits, paid in £500 ete, etc but their's no sign of my £100. A couple of comments I've read on here seemed to be suggesting not to hold my breath and the likelihood would be I'll never see the money. I was just wondering whether anyone else has had the £100 added to their new account and how long after opening/switching did it appear?

I think I read that it would be paid 28 days after the switch. For me, that's tomorrow. Fingers crossed! I'll let you know if it appears

Hi. My full account switch from NatWest to TSB completed on 26th January, and as promised, exactly 28 days later (yesterday) the £100 bonus was paid into my account. I also received an email from TSB confirming this.

It's the first time I've ever switched banks and I've got to give TSB credit - the whole process was smooth and efficient and they've done everything they said they would, like clockwork. Hang in there, I'm sure you'll get your £100 on the 28th day.

My £100 arrived today. When was your switch Canny_mal, is your 28 days up yet?

I completed the switch to HSBC on 8 February. The £120 incentive is due within 70 days of the date of the account opening (21 January in my case). That takes me to 31 March, an inordinate wait. I don't have great faith that the HSBC computers will be programmed to pay out within the 70 days. I'm keen to get it over and done with, both for the switch cash but also so that I can initiate a switch away from HSBC.

Good to hear at least anecdotally that TSB is paying up. I've got another week till mine should arrive then. In the meantime, I have just got my £150 from 1st Direct to keep me happy...

Does this FD account just need the switch and pay in? I have an everyday account with Santander so could do that by Sunday, but there are no DDs on it and so I will miss another incentive...

If it does need DDs are there any that are not acceptable? I was hoping for TV license/Boiler maintenance and home insurance:D

Apparently no DDs needed here so fill yer boots!

Edit.... oh and my M&S bank gift card turned up this morning. Happy Friday!

TSB £100 has just hit as well. It's been a very productive week! :T

I opened the account on 2nd Feb but account switch wasn't completed until 12th Feb so 28 days from then would be 11th Mar. No sign of the £100 so far. Will let you know if it appears in the next week or so.

Those that have their £100, how soon after switching did you deposit £500 in?
