transfered £1000 in. wanted to transfer £1000 out. discover can only do £500. try transfer £500, account gets flagged for unusual activity.

order security token. get token delivered. try online banking. blocked so need to call a number.

be warned!

rang up and got it sorted.
able to log in and the token allowed me to transfer £1000 without raising fraud notifications to them this time.

My friends was quite quickly un-banned too, but I feel sorry for their poor overworked fraud team.... 1 x £500 transfer raising fraud flags seems a tad restrictive - when considering what people have been doing to Halifax Reward, Club Lloyds, BOS Vantage etc for years!!

I seem to remember (from when I've switched Tesco DDs) that whilst it points to a name (nickname?), the sort code and account number behind it are for the new account? Perhaps you could check? Maybe you already have?

Yep I had - its sort code & ac number is still the Santander 'switched' account.

out of curiosity I just rang B team direct and asked whether the incentive was still available.She went to check and came back with a no.

... still advertised on their website and clearly mentioned on t&c, was there any chance they would deny it ???

Is the switch incentive still advertised on their web site? Where do you click next when you're at the home page? https://www.youandb.co.uk/

Yes exactly the same link I sent previously, here in post #729

What's with the, frankly unnecessary, hostility towards adindas?

The first post didn't make too much sense, granted. But they've since cleared that up - which was then met with more hostility and disbelief.

Seems an odd way to respond to someone who might be helping people out.

That's a cached link. Where is it on the home page?
If you can't 'click' through to it from the home page, it isn't available. It's like arguing it's still available in this (month old) newspaper.

You may win an argument on an exception basis, but I'll bet you'll need to be very persuasive. I wouldn't risk a 2 hour round trip to Birmingham to find out.

There's no hostility in my post, just a pragmatic question, and conclusion.

I did think previous hostility was unjustified... but I am starting to sense the disbelief wasn't.

I'm not sure if this helps or not:cool: but this is the transcript of a web chat I have just had while searching the youandb website in search of an answer. I'm giving up now as its no use to me as a previous switch incentive recipient, even if it is available:p



'badger09 A friend has told me I can get £250 if I switch my current account to your B account at Birmingham. Is this true? Thanks

Agent The web chat service is provided by the B contact centre. For all online and telephony channels the £250 has ended and this is no longer available. We are not able to guarantee if you can have the offer if you visit the B Birmingham branch as it can be withdrawn at any time.

badger09 Sorry, but that's not very clear. Are you saying you don't know if its available at Birmingham. Or are you saying it is available but might not be, depending on when I get there to apply?

Agent The offer has been withdrawn. I can not comment on branch specific offers. If you want to discuss this you would need to into branch I'm afraid.

badger09 OK. Thanks'
