NatWest switch terms can you help

murphydavid

Unable to find some old NatWest terms can you help. Back in mid march (last month) NatWest were doing a switch bribe of £175 which I took up and due to (I presume Covid 19) it has taken them till 8/04/20 to complete the switch. I did everything they asked immediately.
I went back to their site to double check what I needed to do to make sure I fulfilled all the requirements to get the £175 only to find the bribe expired on the second of this month.
Unfortunately I assumed the terms would remain on the web and did not print them but I cannot find any sign of them now. Does anyone know where I can find a copy?

I have gone back over all the communications from them and nowhere did they mention the £175.

I can remember I have to deposit £1500 in the first few ??? days which I will do immediately.
I am particularly interested to know
1. Did I need to apply for the switch while the deal was available or did the switch have to be complete while the deal was still active and if they delayed it will I still get the £175.
2. When will I see the £175 in my account.
3. How many Direct debits out and or Direct debit payments in did I need to have set up or transfered.
4. What else do I need to do.
I knew when I looked at the conditions I could meet the demands but I can't remember what they were.

Thanks very helpful, Only 2 things to do.
I see it says opened before 2nd of April. I applied in good time but they did not stick to the timetable set by them and so declared it open on 8th April. All I can do for now is wait and see.

If your switch completed on 08/04 the account would have been open before that as they couldn't have initaited a switch without NW sort code and ac number. It's min 7 working days to complete a CASS so working backwards from 08/04 that would mean you had the ac open before 02/04.

Thank you so much for finding it for me.

I logged on today to find the answer to the very same question. This post was right at the top, so thanks 😊.
There was a bit of a kerfuffle with my account opening. NatWest rejected my ID photos twice despite the fact they were scanned in. The third time, they were satisfied with a worse looking photo of my driving licence.
