TSB switching bonus

Nebulous2

I switched away from TSB last year and I've just been offered £100 to switch back. 

Has anyone else had that?

I think it may be a targeted offer, rather than a general one, as I can't see any mention of it.

I had a targeted switching offer of £75 to switch my 'main' account to TSB, as I 'hadn't used my account for a while'

I received a targeted £75 offer as well. I noticed it had a condition that I haven't received a bonus before as well and no idea if I have or how to check it.

If they've targeted you for the offer, you'd think they would have checked whether you were eligible for it first.

True, I'm not sure if I have enough faith in TSB to have checked that though! Not sure if it's tempting enough for me to make the switch anyway.

Some people who were offered £75, but no-one else saying they were offered my £100. 

I folded a couple of current accounts, including the TSB one, into Santander and Nationwide last year to get their loyalty bonuses. That reduced my current accounts from 6 to 4 and I didn't anticipate doing any more. £100 is still £100 though, and I'm trying to decide if I want to give up anything else.

You don't need to give up anything else- you could just open a donor account and switch that!...... then if you don't like it a while down the line you might switch again for a small welcome handshake.

whats this about a TSB switch bonus? I've had Classic plus's for years but after the last one remaining dormant for a year and me having an abundance of dormant accounts with no use I actually just closed the last of them last week. would be prefect timing if a TSB switch offer came along the week later...!
