In practice, Santander won't care that the £500 is coming from another Santander account.

This is true but to qualify for Cashback the T&Cs require a monthly pay-in of £500 that cannot come from another Santander account bearing their name (sole or joint).

That's true, although part of the reason for sticking with Santander on this was to cut down on the level of admin!

Trouble is, if your're going to play the banks at their own game by maximising income from them, then that requires admin.

It may be possible to send the money to your partner's name and vice versa using Pay Pal as the intermediary.

Thanks all. I'll investigate other accounts to pay the money from!

Paypal doesn't like this sort of thing and may close your accounts after a while.

Does anyone know is NowTV qualifies for cashback if you have broadband with them? As it's owned by Sky and Sky you can get cashback with.

You will need a NOW TV account and valid credit or debit card details when signing up to NOW TV. These payment details will be used to bill you for your NOW TV Combo each month.

Rather than opening a Santander joint account you could for example investigte opening a NatWest joint account as they do pretty good cashback deals as well

I had the Natwest Reward account and I much prefer the Santander one as the cashback is paid monthly rather than having to claim it on a separate website.

Doesnt NatWest also have a minimum £5 limit before you get your money?
Meaning if your bills arent that high you will have to wait an extra month. Or if you switch you could lose some of your cashback.

In general I dont think NatWest are very good when it comes to customer service & ease of use on products.

We use them at work & they are a pain. Website goes down too often. Account frozen due to random fraud checks, which they make it hard work as possible to get logged back in.

I briefly used them to get a switch bonus & can honestly say out of the 7 or 8 establishments ive got current accounts with, they were by far the worst.

Yes they do. It's a pain and we did lose some cash back when we switched but the Amazon vouchers from Santander more than made up for it!
