    Would be interested to know if anyone who previously had a Natwest/RBS account, who opened a RBS/Natwest account this time got the £175 bonus still - if they care to share for future reference :)
    Yep, had a NatWest account before, closed it in 2018 apparently, opened a new one - £175 in today 👍🏾 I think the T&Cs said you could as long as you hadn’t open an account use a switching offer before. I had checked with the CA when I opened in branch.

    I've got a RBS current account and got my £175 from NatWest today by switching from a TSB account.

    Not got the £175 bonus. Applied on the 3rd March. told there was delay (not my fault) account was finally opened 10th April, Been told I won't get bonus as opened to late (again not my fault). Totally unfair. What an easy get out clause for them. Disgusted and will be closing accounts if not sorted..

    Don't close the account so fast! If you fight with them you will probably get the money in the end.

    Yes, I just got it even though I previously received a switch incentive from RBS. Happy times :smiley:

     I switched TSB Classic Plus into new Natwest Reward Account, then opened new TSB C.P via Quidco thought had nothing to lose, looked today and £175 went into Natwest account on 2nd June :)
