Yeah it was mentioned on here two days ago on p49.

Easily missed though, granted .

What needs to be done by 28th? The referral sent in? or the account has been opened and switch started?

You just need to apply for the account and request a switch before the 28th. You have 14 days to submit the referral form after that.

I still don't get what these lot are playing at.

I've received a letter saying my account has been opened. And the letter gives me my current account number thats 16 digits long! That's not normal is it?

Taking nearly 3 weeks for account opening, I suggest if you want to receive a referral you start making your accounts now

Ignore the last two digits, the first six are the sort code and the next eight the account number.

Taking nearly 3 weeks for account opening,

In Nov I received my account details by a e-mail - a week after applying and receiving a confirmation:

Application number: *******  Thanks for applying for a Current Account.

Welcome to your account with The Co-operative Bank Sort Code: 089066 Account number: 11******

Is this confirmed?
I've set up an account, but the switch date hasn't been confirmed yet.

I need the "switch end date" for the referral form. Should I complete the referral form before the 28th Feb using the switching date I was given when setting up the account next week? Or wait until after 28th Feb until I have a confirmed "switch end date"?
And does it matter?

My switch took place today.  The T&C of the offer says the £125 will be paid within 60 days, but what has been the typical time-span, folk here have experienced, please?
