Santander £130 switch offer

locky123

Trying to find out if I received an incentive when I originally opened a 123 account in 2012, still can login and have a basic current account, but can see no facility to send secure message or online chat. Looks like will need to download the app.

Already have a Santander account with 5 DDs.

Am I right in thinking to get the offer, all I need to do is switch a current account to my existing Santander and pay in £1000 or would I need to set up 2 DDs on the donor account before the switch?

I didnt spot this when i initiated switch

Note:
"2.2 You and everyone to be named on the Qualifying Account will need to:
2.2.1 be a UK resident;
2.2.2 not have previously received or participated in any other incentive for switching to any of our accounts or any account with cahoot or"

Looking forward to feedback...:thumb:

Look for red vertical bar RH side of screen.

Can I switch from hsbc as I got switch offer from them recently and have only been with them 4 weeks, will I get penalised for moving again?

In order to avoid a branch visit, would it be possible to open another new account online and switch in to that new account ?
Is there any limit to number of accounts imposed by Santander ? ( I already have one Joint and one individual Santander account ) 
Do they hard search you for multiple accounts ?
Has anybody been successful in trying this out ?

I have done exactly that as my earliest branch visit appointment was second week of October.

Opened a second Everyday account, so you can have at least two.

Am expecting a hard search tbh. (Appeared on Experian last time I opened one. Too early yet obviously)

2 Direct debits has to be setup with the old bank or directly with Santander once swich has been completed?

• have successfully completed the switch, which includes closing the account not held with us
• set up at least 2 active Direct Debits
• pay at least £1,000 into the account, and
• log on to Online or Mobile Banking.

Looks like its after not within the switch? 

Active means running DD payments being collected until cashback is paid.

Looks like Ecology and Oxfam will be working overtime!

Apologies if I missed it up thread, but on the subject of whether you've previously received an incentive, both my Santander current accounts were switched in to for the Amazon bonanza a couple of years ago. They have the following product names displayed in my secure area:

Product name: 123 LITE CURRENT ACCOUNT SWITCHER
Product name: EVERYDAY CURRENT ACCOUNT SWITCHER

If Santander only started this "switcher" naming format during the Amazon period (and haven't used it since, even for none incentivised switches) then should be a very easy job for them to weed out the chancers among us?

They've always changed the name to switcher for anyone who used CASS since it's inception in Sept 2013.
