    Let me get my crystal ball out.

    I predict the next cash bribe will be from Credit Suisse on 9.01.17 @ 9am and the bribe will be €100.

    Im also getting a feeling Natwest will offer a cash bribe in 3 weeks time for £125.

    No 1 knows what the next cash bribes are going to be offered nor which bank will offer any.
  • Currently M&S offer a switching bonus of £100 M&S gift card and then they top it up with £10 per month for the first year.

    Sorry to correct you OP but it's £120 when you switch and is topped up with £10/month/12 months so long as you pay in a minimum of £1,000/month and pay out at least two active Direct Debits.
    It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.

    The bit you quoted included "Let me get my crystal ball out.". Did you seriously not see that as sarcasm?

    Also, why are you referring to these incentives as bribes?296e9360d487ae2fe3b75457e17e6378.jpg

    Are you sure? On their website - it says "Once you’ve switched using the Current Account Switch Service, including two active Direct Debits, we’ll send you a £100 M&S gift card. But that’s not all. Once you have your M&S gift card, we’ll top it up with £10 each calendar month as long as a minimum of £1,000 is paid into your current account and two Direct Debits remain active – for a period of 12 months following the switch. So you could enjoy spending up to £220 in M&S."
