Will Bank Switching Bonuses Return?

I'm not really talking about incentives offering bottles of wine but instead the old cash incentives.

    After lockdown (as last year) they may well do.
  • If a bank sets a target to open x amount of new accounts this year but looks like the target might not be met they might bribe you with an offer?

    The 'old' cash incentives aren't particularly 'old'.  Metro Bank's £50 offer only ended 3 weeks ago.
    These offers come up fairly often. Just keep an eye out (and monitor this forum).

    I am sure there will be more offers this year. Metro just ended an offer and I believe Halifax/Lloyds/NatWest/RBS all had offers back in October/November (?)

    Fingers crossed! Hope they do come about soon, and they're ones I'm eligable for...

    there was also Ulster Bank.
    Personally I doubt they are going to appear for a while. Double blue rewards for Barclays would be nice 'though! oh, and available to existing customers .......

    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
