    No text but it would seem that people get these after having received the £200 as that is what happened with my brother-in-law.
    I can assure you that's not the case. I've had the text, not the dosh. 
    When did your switch complete?

    A DD can be live even if no money is coming out, as far as I can tell through conversations with bank and DD people,

    I had one with a B bank Credit card that I had but was not using and it counted in a switch I made.
    Assuming you mean "active", since that is the definition required to meet the T&Cs of the offer, if a DD appears agaisnt your account and is capable of being taken, it is active.

    See my post of 5th November on page 16 of this thread  ;)

    Yesterday - postponed by NW from 28/10.
  • Just received this text……….. Great news! You qualify for our current account switch offer. Payment will land in your current account within 24 hours. Thanks for being part of Nationwide. 
  • Sister and I received the £200 today, showing in accounts at 12.30.

    Well I was about to give up on this £200 switch offer, switch completed 20th October. Absolutely nothing heard from them, still nothing today but the £200 has now landed in my account this lunchtime.👍
    I fired off an in app message last weekend asking nicely where's the dosh, they haven't replied to it be hey ho the money has landed.
  • Am I being over-cautious by waiting for new DDs to pay out at least once in my shiny, new (soon to be ex-) Starling account before starting the swap to Nationwide? Just worried in case they shutter the deal in the next few days.

    Wondering if anyone had any issues with their switch incentive? I've been in excess of 10 working days no incentive. 2 DDs full switched as per eligibility. No account or offer gained since aug 2021.
    Spoke to online chat they said I qualify and would raise a query with switch team. Nothing back.
    Did it again 2 days later still no response from switch team when agent chased.
    Rang complaints team to make it formal yesterday and they said I'd have it within 5 days. I had it paid today and apology from my local branch. Was a nice touch to be fair, they said my switch got cancelled due to an 'admin error' but it got reinstated. I guess the cancellation scuppered the usual automagic payment of switch incentive? All resolved now and kudos to the complaints team but just wondered if this was an isolated issue or more common?
