    A long delay as they had to source more vouchers? Have they not heard of Amazon, open 24/7 online ... :D.

    Lol.

    Well, I'd be surprised if this third party company (handling the promo on behalf of Santander) is paying face value for the vouchers. So there probably is a bit of negotiation going on over price and quantity - otherwise you would think that Santander would just dump the cash directly into accounts.

    Is there anyone else waiting for vouchers claimed around 19th/20th March please ?
    Checked your junk mail? Outlook trapped every voucher code that has been sent to me in junk mail.

    They won't be paying face value, though it still doesn't explain why it took them two weeks to get themselves organised since the last batch were processed.

    We have had a few referee but not the corresponding referrer vouchers today, odd (combined with the name mismatch - perhaps a file corruption issue?).

    Having worked in a big company for many years there can be a lot of time consuming messing around when a budget has been exceeded and someone's got to make the decision to spend more money than was planned. There will likely be layers of approvers and a chain of parties involved in procuring the batch of codes.

    Do forum readers agree the only significance of 18th May date is thats the last date to get RAF codes from Santander ????

  • Yes 18th May is the last day that customers can get codes, but this can be withdrawn at any time re T&C's.

    My understanding is though from reading the T&C's is that the 18th June stands regardless for claims as no where does it state that this could change.

    This is a new one on me. Go by the Sun, not by the offer T&Cs. Although the T&Cs do agree with the Sun that the last date for requesting codes is no later than May 18 2019.

    Sorry if this has been answered up thread...

    Can you, as a joint 123 lite account holder, recommend the other joint account holder and have them switch a non Santander account into said joint account. Or is this deemed to be recommending yourself??
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)
