    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.
    I'm waiting to see if mine has come in. I did switch 2 accounts on the same day so will be interesting to find if I get both rewards. At the point I initiated the switch I had not received a switch bonus this year so I think I should have met both conditions!
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    My switch completed on 2 November according to the documents in my Tesco online account. My clubcard points haven't been credited yet but the T&Cs of the offer do say it can take up to 6 weeks to receive them.

    Was wondering if anyone else did the same thing, I intend to initiate a switch on Monday, could switch two accounts to two Tesco Accounts, obviously dont want to lose a donor account for no gain.:eek:

    Still waiting here....six weeks is up on Thurs
  • I've been tempted by Tesco Bank previously, but I've been put off a little by their recent issues around account security and cyber attacks. Plus, Tesco seem to be getting a bit stingy with their clubcard offers lately.

    How long, in the experience of members here, does it take tesco to open the account once they have the signed paperwork back?
    I came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.

    The day after I posted my paperwork I could see the account online.
    You then have to wait for your pin and card which could take up to eight days.
    You can deposit right away to start earning interest.

    Thanks. I posted our paperwork on Monday, still saying that it's in progress online.
