    Both RBS and Natwest required £1500 deposit and a login to online or mobile banking for:
    • Natwest by 10 May 2020 to be paid £175 by 5 June 2020.
    • RBS by 24 May 2020 to be paid £175 by 19 June 2020.
    Going by above, the RBS offer is 2 weeks behind Natwest on timing.
    I see a few people got a text after 10 May and paid after 13 May for Natwest.
    So I expect we will get a text after 24 May and get paid shortly after for RBS.

    Confirmed on the RBS Twitter that so long as you applied for the switch prior to 5pm on 19 March and met the T&Cs, you are eligible. Still no text or email though.

    Update 6/6/20
    If you have complied with all the T&C but are not paid by the due date June 19 I recommend submitting a formal banking complaint via RBS online complaint form (Google it if link placed below gets deleted). Be polite but persistent. You will win.

    RBS gave you £125 then for the other £50 you had to use debit card once per month up to May this year.  Thats what my offer was and the £50 should be credited by 30 June.

    what? I've not heard about these debit card transactions every month?
    honestly i think you have the wrong info. or have posted in the wrong section.  or are confused and are giving details about an old offer.
    this is about the RBS offer from 2020, right?

    Heard from a friend they've just received a text from Ulster Bank, they'll be paying their bonus by 19/6.
