Tesco Current Account Switching Incentive

2010

It`s a pretty poor offer for what amounts to £25 to spend at Tesco.

I`m switching my spare Halifax to BoS Vantage, where 3% is on offer on £5k.

Anyone completed their switch and received their points yet? I've just requested my switch.

Did a switch of an old FlexDirect account last month - and have 2500 bonus points showing on my last Tesco receipt already.

Ah , but if you used their partner boost (or whatever it is called these days!) the £25 could be an easy £75 or £100. I buy ferry tickets with my points which are x3 Tesco points value.

Plus 3% on £2k and no minimum feed in or DDs

As pointed out- I really meant 3% on £3k! an oops moment

If I get this offer I'll be taking it. I'm an avid Avios collector, and another 6000 would be very useful.

I just setup a donor account to do it, so effectively £25 Tesco spend for opening a current account with someone else then filing in the switching form.

Why switch to BOS, there is no switching incentive? You get the interest just by opening an account. Save your Halifax for another switch!

Switch date (date old account closed) was 8th Nov.
2500 extra points on my last tesco receipt, a few days ago.
Which seems remarkably fast - but there's no other explanation i can think of for an extra 2500 points suddenly appearing.

Slightly off-topic but Avios have recently announced reductions in what you can do with points: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/travel/2016/11/avios-to-reduce-ways-points-can-be-spent---make-your-non-flight-booking-asap

Don't you mean 3% on £3k (per account, able to hold two accounts)
