    Ah that’s interesting to know. I did the RBS one this time and got paid having previously only been paid by NatWest. On the basis that they don’t do a very robust check I was half tempted to give the new NatWest switch a second go, but I’ll probably leave it now (although I have got a Barclays account that needs dumping so I might still chance it…)

    It's simple: regardless of what the terms say, if the customer 'profile' has previously not had a switch incentive then the system will pay it. Natwest/RBS/Ulster are automatically separate customer profiles. It's also possible to get more than one profile within the same brand if you move address etc and open a new account without changing it on your old profile first.

    How does that work in practice? do applicants need to lie when the new account opening page asks:
    Do we already know you?
    If you have a current account, credit card, loan or savings account with the Royal Bank of Scotland please let us know.
    1. I'm a completely new customer
    2. I'm an existing customer
    3. I used to be a Royal Bank customer

    I was wondering if anybody else has previously had RBS switching bonus  credited manually, in ny case £150 which I have been told includes the further £50 which I might have qualified for and subsequently switched another account to existing account via different switch offer and received bonus again.
    I have never had RBS switching bonus credited automatically.

    Did you have to ask?
    Have you previously had a switching bonus with RBS?

    Has anybody who did this switch last year received any further contact from RBS over whether they've met the terms to receive the £50?

    I got this text message in May:

    You're on track to receive your £50 RBS stay bonus for making ten eligible debit or credit transactions per month until 30/09/22.  Continue to meet this criteria and you'll receive £50 by 18/11/22

     I’ve done as requested so I assume I will receive my £50 payment soon.
