Offer £250 to switch to Clydesdale, Yorkshire or B

SpiraliS

Finally got an email saying they have "made a decision" on my application - but when I resume my application via their link their final offer page is an entirely pink screen.

I'll call later and find out what's going on. This is such a palaver!!

Does anyone know what the exact time and date was when the offer was pulled? I applied for the account on October 26th. Received authorisation code on October 31st. Completed the application on November 1st. Received debit card a few days later. I didn't go ahead with the switch as I assumed I missed the deadline.

I wouldn't say it was any more tortuous. With Santander you put in your customer number then on the next screen you put in three characters from your password and three numbers from your pass code.

I only use customer number and then next screen is passcode.

Don't have that additional move you appear to have.

They said 31st oct at 9-30am it was pulled, you should have qualified as you started the application on 26th oct

I have successfully switched to a B account. £1500 was switched automatically from old account to new account. Does that count as the first £1000 to be paid in? Do i just need to pay another £1000 next month?

I am sure I read somewhere that this does not count towards that subsequent £1,000 deposit.

I suggest you read the T&Cs again to double-check as I am sure that the bank will use those to refuse as many £250 bonuses as they can through a technicality.

I manually transferred my first £1,000 on the day of the switch. However may now do another transfer just to make sure I still qualify.

"Credit your account with a total of at least £1,000 within the 31 days following the completion of the switch and a further £1,000 in total in the following 31 days."

You are right (sorry, I misread badboy13's original post), the transfer of funds as part of the switch process does not count for one of the two transfers of £1,000 required to qualify for the switch bonus.

Just received my first statement from B,everything seems on track,both DD's have paid out.I had left £1000 in there since 25th Oct and even got 6p interest lol.Will send it all back to Santander in a minute(never had need for a token last time).The last hoop to jump through will be the second £1000 which I will send around the end of November.......

If your switch date has already passed then yes, I think this will count as the first deposit. It has to be after the switch date to count.

If that is the amount transferred between banks as your balance within the switch itself, then NO it doesn't count. You will need to make a further £1000 payment into the new account.
