Seeing Martin's post about the TSB's incentive of £130 I applied immediately and have set up an account. I needed to speak to the Switching Team about something and mentioned this £130 only to be told that it's £125.

I'll still switch anyway as that fiver makes no odds to me, but being a pedant it concerns me that something has clearly gone wrong in the comms between MSE and TSB.

    Says very clearly in Martins article you have to go via this link http://www.tsb.co.uk/cashback-money-saving-expert/?WT.mc_id=1613487%7C152316154%7C322563276%7C0 & it says £130 at the top of the page...

    Dau enaid ond un taith.

    And that is exactly what I did.

    Never mind, they now say it's £130. Someone there end made an error. How do I delete this thread?

    You can't delete it. And it may assist others.

    You could, however, amend the thread title.

    Just opened the TSB via the newsletter link; online accepted and set-up in minutes. Switch (from co-op, only been there a month!) is due next Friday. How long before the bonus is paid?
  • I used the deal that ended in February and bonus was paid in 28 days from the date of your switch i.e. when old account closed and last balance transferred to TSB a/c.
  • Hi all im just trying to make this switch now and the offers aren't showing on the product offered page... is this normal or does it mean i;m not eligible? I'm pretty sure i meet all the criteria or i wouldn't have bothered going this far!

    TIA
