    Are you saying that a few on this site disapprove or is this something you have heard elsewhere?

    I have never come across anyone either on this site or elsewhere who disapprove of this practice. However, I am in a small minority (perhaps of one) who given the opportunity would never switch banks to get a switching payment (aka a bribe :))

    I was primarily thinking of the exchange of views in this thread from last week but am fairly sure I've seen similar views expressed before on other threads, although it's plausible that I'm conflating it with reference to your aversion to switching incentives, which I'd see as being in the same sort of territory....
    I have just got round to reading the thread the which you refer and there is little doubt that there is some disapproval on this site.

    I guess that my surprise at this is equivalent to others' surprise to my aversion to signing on fees.

    As you say, each to their own.

    Each to his/her own, indeed.

    Currently, we're too weak to resist the RBS carrot - though, due to their incompetence, haven't we had to work for it. :)

    Sort of eases the moral quandary. :rotfl:
