    Got an email this morning telling me to double check I'd met all the criteria - logged in to check as I was very sure I'd met all the criteria and low and behold I've been paid. Very smooth and efficient. Account is all set up to switch away somewhere else for the next offer :)

    EDIT:

    And for what it's worth - I'd previously acted as a referrer for the previous Amazon bonanza, but didn't switch an account to Santander

    Did you open an additional new account or use an existing? By phone or branch?
    TIA

    Sorry for the delay - I opened a second account online and initiated a switch online as an existing Santander current account holder.
  • I have the "Welcome to Santander" email today confirming the switch is complete - so let the countdown to (hopefully) seeing my 3130 commence!

    Found this on HUKD, cannot find mention of it here.

    Improved offer on the Santander bank account switch offer. You can now get a £20 Amazon voucher in addition to the £130 switch incentive. To get the offer you need to go via Money.co.uk, is on all three versions of the Santander current account (Santander Everyday - no fee / Lite - £2 fee month / Santander 123 - £4 fee month).

    Looks like you may be able to go again! Different T&C though.

    Thanks, it was no prob. I since decided sacrificing one of my multi TSBs on the off-chance was worth an attempt to switch into an existing123 by phone, after being declined for a new Everyday. It appeared to go without an issue, and due 22nd.

    Still, there's no guarantee I'll get the bonus post Bonamza... but others have, including my OH, so worth a go.

    The £130 switching offer doesn't look new. The terms linked relate to the switcher offer which started on 13th September. I don't think it is possible to benefit from that offer again if you've already done it.

    What is new if the £20 Amazon voucher simply for opening a new current account via the Money.co.uk link. I'm going to give that one a go with a new Everyday account.

    I am confused. I switched Santander Everyday account to Santander lite account. When I enquired at Santander I was informed the £130 did not apply if switching from one Santander  account to another Santander account

    You wouldn't be confused if you'd read the offer terms, and clause 2.1 in particular....

    My £130 was there when I awoke this morning.
    As mentioned earlier in the thread, OH and I mirrored each other in regard to the switch process and she was paid out several days ago
    I had started to think about when to raise my non payment with Santander but all turned out nicely enough.
    Don’t  think there is any pattern to how and when the payments arrive though.

    You are correct ta, I've reread the T&C as opposed to perhaps misleading commentary in the HUKD. And gave it a go for £20 voucher; I've already got an Everyday current account but you can have two. As can wife. And maybe two joint Everyday accounts as well? ... heh heh!
