RBS current account switch

Hey,
I did the latest RBS current account switch (I can't exactly remember the date this ran from now), but I still haven't been paid the £150 I am due for the switch.
Has anyone receive theirs yet?

    You might find it worth checking the Ts & Cs. They're pretty slow at paying these incentives. At the end of last June, I switched to RBS. The associated incentive wasn't paid until 30 August. So I had to wait nearly two months after the account was opened. I think that others had to wait even longer - they didn't pay any incentives until two months after the offer closed.

    I hope that your experience of RBS is better than mine. I've already decided that I'll be moving on as soon as I've received the second part of my incentive next summer. (It was £125 for switching + £50 for staying with them for a year.)

    Edit: When I refer to the Ts & Cs, I see that the information was, in fact, on the web page describing the offer, and from which I started my application. (I retained a copy of the web page.) It was a fair way down the page.

    The offer ran from August to November last year.
    It will be paid by 7th February 2020.


    Type "RBS £150 Switch" into google and the offer T&Cs are the second result returned.

    Thank you both for getting back to me.
    I looked at the T&C's and I am sure I have met them. I will wait until 7th Feb then and see if i receive it.

    Do I have to leave the £1500 in there, or can i just deposit it and then take it back out?

    If you do the T&Cs will say so. Do they? Put it another way, if the £1,500 was your salary how would you feel if they wouldn't let you spend it until after 7th Feb?
