    Can anyone confirm if the £1000 pay in requirement, paid in from another santander account will meet the terms?

    Not normally on any bank switch bonus, just cycle it to an account at another bank and then to your switcher.

    Yeah I transferred from my 123 Lite to new everyday and switching bonus paid 10th Nov.
  • I’ve had my 2nd £130 bonus today.  New EveryDay account was opened on 2/10 and switch completed on 10/10.
    My 1st bonus came a week ago, on an account switched 3 days before this 2nd one…so this one took a bit longer to pay out.

    Incidentally, more than £1k came into the account via the switch from other bank.  I then also paid in £1k to be on safe side….but it was moved from another Santander account.

    Am pleased to have earned over £500 in switching bonuses since Sept.

    Thanks for this thread - has been useful to track the process through and see e who did it first got on.  Enjoy your cash everyone.
  • How did you get two switch bonuses?  Was it for one sole account and one joint account?

    How did you qualify for 2nd bonus with a 2nd account? The offer t&c 2.2.2 says to be eligible you must

    "not have previously received or participated in any other incentive for switching to any of our accounts or any account with cahoot or Cater Allen which are part of Santander UK plc;"

    So I assumed I was excluded from it having switched to a Select account last month

  • It was myself and my husband.  So it’s 2 people.  Sorry if it sounded like I had personally had 2.
    That said, lots of couple have got 3, by doing an individual switch each and also a joint switch.  The terms allow it.

    Where have you seen that lots got 3?

    The terms specifically state you won't qualify for an additional reward:
     
    3.3 We will make one Cashback Payment only, even if more than one Qualifying Account is opened and/or switched into by you or one of the joint holders. If you open the Qualifying Account in joint names and all of you have qualified for the Switcher Offer and the Cashback Payment, then we will make one Cashback Payment only into that Qualifying Account. We will not make any other payment and you and any joint account holder(s) will not be entitled to more than this one Cashback Payment between you
