    No notification, just appeared much to my surprise because I was nt even sure I d hit the 60 day mark when the account was fully switched over .I did fund the £1000 on the first day it was opened to move money into

    That's because it's 60 days from the date the switch was requested :) I am having to wait another few weeks sadly...

    Good news, looks like it will be about 3 weeks for us. A month earlier than I thought. Thanks

    I can't remember if this has been asked on here before (maybe by me!!). When I opened my account (using the switch service), the account being transferred across had about £5000 in it. Am I expected to pay in another £1000, as a separate transaction, to meet the requirements?
    Thank you.

  • As a heads up, my £200 landed yesterday, a total of 55 days since instructing the switch so maybe the initial 60 day rule isn’t set in stone. 
  • Opened the account on 27/01.

    Cashback arrived today, 28/03 at 10:12.
