For an existing customer is it OK to avoid going to a branch by applying for a new, second/third, account and switch into it?

Although the offer terms do state that switching into existing accounts can only be done in branch, it was ascertained early on that doing so by phone is permissible too, via the number for the switching team posted on page 2....

Thanks, but yet another reason for doing this online is extra £20 available ATM, thus making it £150 in total.

HUKD - £20 Amazon voucher + £130 Cashback when Switching Current Account (New & Existing Customers) @ Santander

ETA: that said, £20 seems to be an independent bonus simply for opening a new account and, possibly, isn't worth bothering about.

Has anybody received this £20 bonus yet? The deal has expired now so can't look at the timeline.
