Bank Switch to COOP Am I Eligible?

Ok, So about 4 months ago, I switched my Nationwide to Halifax for £250,

Now Ive switched that Halifax to COOP hoping for £150 reward,

I meet the criteria of 5 DD's on the account to be transferred.

It's a full switch and close,

Will I qualify, even though I switched for the halifax reward,


Cheers

    The previous switch makes no difference at all. In simple terms, if you meet the Co-op eligibility criteria and switching incentive T&Cs then you'll get your incentive.


    Is it 5 DDs now? It was only 4 when I switched earlier this year.

    Hi, thanks for your reply,

    Sorry yes it is 4, however I have 5, but two are for credit card minimum payments which wont actually be used, will this make a difference?

    How long did it take you to get your incentive ?

    My switch to Co-op completed on 25 May. The incentive was paid into my account on 22 June. Exactly 28 days, however the T and Cs said that it would be paid within 45 days of the switch date. So it was paid early.

    You need to have 4 DDs registered on the account being switched. They need to remain active (ie registered on the Co-op account) until the incentive is paid (ie up to 45 days after the switch date). They do NOT need to pay out to get the switch incentive of £150.
