    Couldn't locate the T&Cs on the forum, so here they are again

    I believe that I fulfilled the offer T&Cs on the 15th September.

    This is assuming that the funding requirements were £500 paid in per calendar month (for the first 2 months) and making 10 debit card payments in total.

    There was also a need to register for online and mobile banking. I may of course have overlooked something else - if so, I'd welcome a nudge. :)

    No incentive received here yet, though I believe Metro said something like "within a couple of weeks" after meeting the requirements.
    You don't mention the switch required

    I am not sure whether they mean calendar month when they say month. The fact that they state in 4.4 that "The 12-month period in 4.3 begins on 24 August 2020" leads me to believe that it could be a rolling month from account opening. Whichever, it will be sometime soon.

    My switch completed on 14th September. I'll be putting a third £500 payment in tomorrow, just in case they did mean monthly anniversary from account opening or first payment. 
  • "upto 30 days from meeting the requirements" So at a guess 30 daysish from the second £500 going in.

    Has anyone received the bonus by making some of the 10 debit card payments to a savings or investment account?
    Thanks

    If you read back a few posts, all should become clear.

    I applied to open an account on 01/09, paid the first £500 on 15/09, had the switch complete on 21/09, made 10 transactions with the card on 22/09, paid the second £500 on 01/10. I have left the account at £1 each time as I need the money elsewhere. Used the App and online too. Technically, I should receive the £50 bonus by the end of this month. Will update.
