    This £175 natwest offer now ends thursday  19th march 5pm .
    Just made the  switch  online  wed 18th march around 6;30-7;30 pm so phoned for advice on doing it correctly twice....... both advisers stated the above .
    Is that, switch must have started by then? Or completed by then?


    As long as the switch was started by then, you will get the £175 reward if you fulfill the obligations required.

    The offer ended 5pm Thursday.
    I seem to remember their Ts&Cs stating they could withdraw the offer at any time.

    (i) deposit £1,500 into your eligible current account; and

    (ii) log into our online or mobile banking service.

    2. Existing customers who already have a NatWest Select, Reward, Select Silver, Reward Silver, Select Platinum, Reward Platinum,

    Black or Reward Black account (‘eligible current account’) opened prior to 12th February 2020 must:

    (a) by 2nd April 2020, transfer a non-NatWest current account to your existing eligible current account (which includes

    closing your non-NatWest current account and moving all your payment instructions to your eligible current account)

    What is the offer?

    If you meet the conditions for this offer, we’ll pay £175 into your eligible current account by 5th June 2020.

    Please note:

    • If you close your eligible current account before 5th June 2020 then no payments will be made to you.

    • If you convert your eligible current account to another eligible current account, and you have met the conditions

    for this offer in relation to either your original eligible current account, or in relation to the one to which you have

    converted, payment will still be made to you.

    • You won’t be eligible for this offer if you’ve already taken advantage of a cash offer from NatWest, The Royal Bank

    of Scotland plc (‘RBS’) and/or Ulster Bank Limited (‘Ulster’) between October 2017 and 11th February 2020 for:

    (i) opening a new current account and switching to RBS/NatWest/Ulster or

    (ii) upgrading your existing NatWest current account.

    • Joint account holders will only be eligible for one payment.

    • You can only benefit from this offer once meaning that even if you apply, complete the account opening process,

    and meet the conditions of this offer for more than one eligible current account, you’ll only receive one payment.

    We can withdraw this offer at any time.

    What other conditions do you need to know?

    You’ll be bound by Your Current Account Terms, which contain all the terms applicable to your eligible current account,

    including any regular criteria you need to meet in order to keep your account and use the account benefits.

    I don’t see why this wouldn’t work initially... until 6 months down the line when they may clock on and perhaps ask for it back.
    If the terms and conditions does not exclude it, they cannot ask for it back. I have seen reports on this forum of people successfully getting both.
    I managed to successfully get both :)

    I have just been declined an offer to open a RBS Reward account.  Do you think its got something to do with the fact I've already had a switching offer from NatWest, opened and switched a RBS account a couple of years ago, and recently changed my NatWest account to a Reward account, and am milking the Savings Builder, as well as the 0% NatWest Credit card I got in the autumn with a 0% balance transfer fee?
    First time I've been declined a current account - even HSBC let me have one a few months ago!
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?
