RBS and Natwest Switching Offer - eligibility for both

Options
Hi all! The new RBS switching offer has the following T&Cs: 
  • You won’t be eligible for this offer if you’ve already taken advantage of a cash switcher offer from RBS, NatWest and/or Ulster Bank between October 2017 and 3rd February 2022.
  • You can only benefit from this offer once, meaning that even if you apply, successfully open an account, and meet the conditions of this offer for more than one eligible account, you’ll only receive one payment.
I requesting to switch Bank Account A to NatWest on 1 Feb, and it isn't yet complete. I'll only be paid the bonus in June 2022. 

If today (9 Feb) I apply to switch Bank Account B to RBS, would I be eligible also for the RBS bonus? It isn't clear to me what "taking advantage of a cash switcher offer" means - is this (i) simply requesting a switch to NatWest or (ii) being actually PAID the bonus on or before 3rd Feb? 

Their customer service chat person said no to me initially, then yes (just copy-pasting the T&Cs) and doesn't inspire much confidence. 

Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

    I would try for both, there is a good chance you will get both incentives.
    I have had all 3 bonuses from these banks within that timeframe. I wouldn't bother going to ask customer service any queries regarding that.
