UPDATE: NatWest Switch bonus

oli356

Some people I've spoken to about it see it as "stealing"

Meanwhile anyway I've applied for a Natwest account again and will switch the Nationwide account I had from when i was a kid ..

I've had a Nat West account and received the switch incentive in the past but cannot remember whether this was in 2016 or 2017. Since I closed the account I don't have any of the old paperwork/debit cards anymore so, how can I check this out?

Natwest didn't offer a switch incentive before 2017.

I'm still waiting for my switching bonus from NatWest's last offer, payable by 21st February. It was only £150 last time so looks like they've increased the bonus. Wish I'd waited now, oh well!

Anyone get Natwest offer in year 2017 and then close their account and apply again to get switch offer. 
Managed to do that?

Ed-1 has answered your question, but for future similar queries I believe account opening and closing dates will be shown on your credit reports (for 6 years following closure).

It looks like it depends what you switch bonus was for.
The way its worded, it does not seem to discount people that got a previous bonus for switching another account into an existing account.

Just checked my NatWest account & the £150 switch payment is in early.....they didn't leave it until the death like RBS.
