Me.
One was a swap into a very long-standing RBS account, the other was a brand new NatWest. No NatWest account held since the last century.
I've got an Ulster Bank application/switch outstanding.1 -

All totally within the T&C of each switch offer. There have been no previous switch rewards paid to me by any of the three banks.LightKnow said:

'...you won’t be eligible for this offer if you’ve already taken advantage of a cash switcher offer from NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland and/or Ulster Bank between 1st October 2017 and 13th February 2023.'flaneurs_lobster said:

I see how this works now - wait to do all three at the same time.
I wasn't going to partake in switching, because I was concerned about the high number of credit searches etc., but I think I will now - it's certainly very lucrativeIf you want me to definitely see your reply, please tag me @forumuser7 Thank you.

I still don’t understand how you can obtain a switching bonus from another of the NatWest group. I’ve switched from Lloyds to NatWest and am awaiting £200 (not had it yet 🥹) if I switched from Santander to RBS now would I get another £200? Surely not0

Why not? One thing to watch for is that if you are applying for a new account, the switch must be requested at the same time. See also the exclusion clause in @ForumUser7 's last post.Cambsalex said:I still don’t understand how you can obtain a switching bonus from another of the NatWest group.

So if I wanted 2x bonus you’re saying I should have applied at the same time? Noted if so and thank you.0

If you haven’t received a switch incentive from NatWest group before 13th feb, I think the ts and cs are saying you should be fine to get all 3 now. I.e. if you did one on 15th for example, you could still do the others nowCambsalex said:So if I wanted 2x bonus you’re saying I should have applied at the same time?
