How long before leaving RBS after switch?

I opened an RBS account for the switching bonus (£150) which I received in May. As there are no requirements on this current account (no direct debits, monthly pay-in, etc) is there any reason why I shouldn't switch again now?

    In a nut shell, as long as you've met the T&Cs and have been paid the incentive (which you have) then you are under no obligation to keep your account open. Some accounts have a "pay some now and pay some in 6/12 months" approach to switch incentives in an attempt to actually get you to use the account so in those cases you'll lose out by closing your account early. Make sure you have squeezed everything out of them that you can before moving elsewhere
