Santander £130 switch offer

binaryuniverse

Tried switching my remaining Tesco account, but they're not accepting them from Tesco (it will tell you on the application form, when you enter the sort code). Which is a bit of a bummer. Fortunately, I have another account I'm happy to part with.

Also going the option of getting the application/switch process going ASAP, then just setting up a couple of DDs on it, once set up.

The latest MSE weekly email claims that this is the first Santander cash bribe for 9 years, and talks about 'upfront cash'.

Yeah, that bit made me chuckle.

Waiting at least 60, and up to 90, days for the cash is hardly "upfront" !

They were offering a free £100 in January 2012:

'If Not?' -  but waiting 90 days to find out .... and if it doesn't and the offer's over... ?
Pretty sure you can open an additional PO saver without problem, and DD that?

having read this thread i take it that as i took part in the amazon refer a friend offer in 2019 receiving £250 for my codes used i wont qualify for this offer?

Like many MSE users, my OH and I benefited from the 2019 Amazon refer a friend offer. My understanding is that having participated in the £50 refer a friend offer means you have had a switching bonus already and do not qualify for this offer.

Good luck to the new generation of switchers!
