Latest email. Now SEVEN banks pay you to switch (Is this misleading?)

moneysavingexpert official website stated that:
Latest email. Now SEVEN banks pay you to switch

    Not misleading to me....

    RBS and NatWest are two separate banks (albeit part of the same group) each with its own offer (same terms but different dates).

    As well as the three HSBC group offers (HSBC/FD/M&S) and Halifax, the seventh that's listed on the email is Nationwide's £100 for their 'recommend a friend' promotion.

    I initially thought the same, until I considered NatWest and RBS as two different banks, and found mention of the Nationwide RAF bonus... got excited thinking there was a bank I'd missed since I haven't had 7 incentives yet!

    It's the Tesco fuel discount that's misleading, well a bit of a con.


    My local Tesco fuel price £1.19 pl -5p discount = £1.14 pl. Asda sell fuel at the normal price of £1.13 pl, so I carry on using them.

    you could switch 7 accounts !!!
    don't think so, with all the terms now ? !!

    get real and tell how to switch ONE account or 2


    which this site does....why go to SEVEN ?

    Although you won't qualify for the RBS switch incentive if you've already taken advantage of the Natwest switch offer between October 2017 and December 2018.
  • So actually is not SEVEN banks = SEVEN switch, as wouldn't qualify for RBS switch incentive if switched to Natwest
