    YorkshireBoy is probably one of the most prolific switch incentive gatherers. However, his total is entirely his business, it won't help anyone to know what that total is, and he'd have to kill you if he told you:D.

    :shhh: Perhaps he will hint at the total just to keep us guessing!!
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

    Enough to pay off the remaining balance of my holiday later on in the year.

    Don't qualify for First Direct/HSBC (due to financial issues in the past with HSBC) but I am happy with what I have received so far.
    It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.

    Have some folk been doing it for years? I thought it was a relatively recent phenomenon!
    Switches using the CASS switching service have been available since the CASS launch in September 2013. Prior to that, account opening offers were available from multiple banks. T&Cs used to be a lot more generous than they are these days, and the offers were discussed extensively on this Forum. All water under the bridge now.
  • How long after you open a new current account can you switch to another.
    thanks

    It depends on what the particular T&Cs say, or don't say, which is just as important;)
  • Just over £500 plus interest from some of the regular savers associated with the current accounts. Easy money for very little work.
  • Hard to remember them all but somewhere between £1500-£2000.

    Got turned down for HSBC but grabbed the rest.
