appears from a post I made on the forum I opened my santander and initiated the switch on the 16th september, just checked my account tho and no switch money deposited  :'(

Is there any money deposited?

Just checked now and nothing deposited today

I think SS may mean have you deposited the required money in the new account on top of any funds switched?

@FUrake   Has there ever been any money deposited?

Yeh I deposited the £1000 as per the Ts and Cs, deposited close to £1050 after the switch was complete so that should be fine and also have the 2 active direct debits in place that have paid out twice since the switch so 99.9% sure I did it correct

Background

I received my £130 Monday. Started switch on 20 September and completed 28th. None of your funny direct debits but two proper credit card DD.

I've opened three new bank accounts including this Santander everyday in the last two months.

My credit rating dropped 30 points and I moved from excellent to good.

I'm a serial switcher (of electricity suppliers).

I'm from a red wall constituancy and the money will help me level up.

I've had my flu jab and my booster.

My initial is D (just kidding).

We get Waitrose deliveries.

Seems there's no rhyme or reason to who is getting paid first

If you live in a Waitrose area you don't need to level up 

Back on topic....

I received my £130 yesterday without any notification.

My switch was initiated on the evening of the 13th September and completed 21st September.

I was an existing Santander customer and had taken advantage of the previous refer a friend offer. For the purposes of this offer I opened a new current account.

The account that was switched over didn't have any direct debits I set those up afterwards and both have paid out already.

Actually there is, everyone who was paid yesterday (with one exception) initiated their switch w/c 13/9. That one exception was only a day later in initiating on 20/9.

However, what is far more interesting is that so far, nobody has reported being paid today!

Hi I've done a switch and completed at the beginning of October. I switched across 3 active DD which have paid out but I haven't set up 2 new ones.
Has anyone been paid the £130 that's done a similar thing with the DD's?

Even more interesting is that, even if you initiated the switch on the 13th September, the 60 day assessment point isn't reached until 12th November so it looks like someone at Santander has jumped the gun.

My switch completed on 21st September so I must have requested the switch on 13th sept. No payment for me yet.

I’m confident I’ve met all the criteria including even a £1k+ transfer after the switch completed as well as before, just in case. 3 direct debits all paid out within a month. I’ll keep my diary note for mid December!
