Offer £250 to switch to Clydesdale, Yorkshire or B

donerkebab

Again to state when it was quiet opened my yesterday awent straight thru and switched.
Done 1st 1k transfer - showed up in B app this morning.
After last year's M&S £220 store credit switch- 101 questions and 3 tonnes of paperwork - made to earn your cashback this really will be easiest £250 I ever earned....

remember the "1st 1k transfer" that is relevant to the switch incentive is after the switch is complete.

And so you aren't grateful for this thread? You seem to be quite active in it!

I am very grateful to Money Mail for drawing my attention to this switching offer and appreciate everyone who has contributed to this thread. However the fact is I first learnt of this offer from MM and that I cannot change. I will not bend the truth.

No one's asking you to bend the truth!!!

Just because Money Mail let you know of this before you read it here doesn't mean you can't thank someone here for starting a discussion about it. The 'thank you' button isn't meant purely for 'gosh I'd never have heard of this without you' thanks. It's just a general thanks. I don't see your problem.

Anyway, this is my last post regarding this issue. I seem to be wasting my time with you Mable!

On 27/10 phoned up to register for online banking and asked if money transferred in (£1000+) during the switch process would count as the first £1000 for the bonus and was told YES!I Think I'll double-check!

********** See later posts - CB confirm that the switching amount does NOT count for the 1st £1000 ! ***********

google search for B and £250 offer goes to a page with an error - Uh oh! Looks like someone made a boo-boo.

There is no information about the £250 switch on their website - has it been pulled then?

edit - rang them - it got pulled at 9:30am this morning. boooooooo!

I just rang them as I opened my account yesterday but I hadn't initiated the switch. They will honour the switch bonus if your account is already created.

Yup, its been pulled. Well spotted Holmesy999. I notice they still haven't reopened online applications. I'm sorry for repeating this, but I believe this was a ploy to get people to use their B current account product. But £250 was a very good offer, well done to those that will get it.

Of course they want you to use their product. They're hardly going to give out £250 for absolutely nothing, are they?

Well what a con, i have been trying to open a b account (well named) since last tuesday. I have forgotten the number of attempts on line always being blocked or kicked out, also by phone unable to get through. Finally registered on line last thursday, only to get a bounce back that they would be in touch within two days. Monday finally talked to someone who checked and said they were having trouble verifying my "address" (must be a joke), and he asked had I not received a letter with a code which I had not. This morning by first class mail I received SIX COPIES of the same verification letter by first class post, all with the same code and all dated 27th. Obviously the "offer" has been withdrawn now. I tried to phone to complain but what do you know, they have placed a recorded message to say sorry offer withdrawn. All I can say is what a joke, this obviously was a selective process.
I certainly will never consider touching this Banking (seriously) group ever again!
