    so people have been getting paid the switch bonus exactly 8 weeks after they initiated the switch?
    Not exactly, so far everyone who's actually given the info falls into initiating w/c 13th September, now we have to wait for tomorrow and see if more payments are made, and so on.

    I applied in the evening of the 13th of September, and my switch completed on the 8th of October  - and nothing received yet.

    Not completely, but it helps to build a picture. I would have asked for Surname first letters as well, but firstly a lot of people may be unhappy giving them and secondly I can't see the bank doing it in that order as I think that would complicate matters further for them.
