    If we can get the timing right with my son it will be a double <> recommend to Nationwide for us next, for £200 each.

    If the timings wrong I'll be doing M&S next.

    8 days to go ...... until friday the 13th

    Well my switch went so badly they froze my account the day of the switch, told me a pack of lies and left me with no money over the weekend. I went to the financial ombudsman and two weeks later got £250 compensation.

    Needless to say I won't be staying!

    Remarkably fast, bearing in mind you'd have to have gone through NatWest's procedures first and then gone to the ombudsman.

    All this worry over when the incentive is paid is getting a little wearing!

    I'd guess, as NatWest chose the 13th April date, that they intend to pay incentives in the 2018/19 financial year - and that this was always their intention.

    I assume they would want to take the incentives from their marketing budget in just one year - and if that was to be 2017/18 they'd have chosen a date this side of the year end. So the date of April 13 implies they always intended it to be the 2018/19 year surely? In which case checking daily is pointless, until after the 5th.

    Apart from special cases like Mchambers, of course.
