What date was the account opened please?

Santander EveryDay account opened on 29/09/2021, and switch instructed during account opening process on same day - switch completion date set for 20/10/2021.

Switch completed on 20/10/21, with £1500 funding from external account,

and two direct debits from donor account switched using CASS - both of which have paid out after completion of switch -

however £130 incentive bonus not yet paid out as of 22/11/2021.

The DDs had paid out on donor account prior to switch as well.

I had not taken advantage of the Amazon vouchers switcher offer in 2019.

The general consensus on here seems to be around 54 days after account opening that the incentive is paid out (as long as the conditions of switch are fulfilled), so hopefully for me by close of business today, or during this week.

So far payments still falling in the 54-60 day window after account opening date.

received bonus today so within promised timeframes.  I can't find anywhere that states bonus clawed back if I switch or move account again after receiving bonus.  Anyone done this yet?

There's no terms allowing them to do this so feel free to switch away at your leisure.

I received my £130 switch incentive today. :-)

13/09/2021 - Account opened and switch requested online

The switch didn’t happen due to a “technical system fault” according to Santander

01/10/2021 - Switch re-requested over the phone

11/10/2021 - Switch completed

23/11/2021 - Incentive paid

So 54 days from the date the switch was instructed over the phone.
