    Is anyone else still waiting for their incentive?  My switch in happened on 18th April but nothing received yet.  Am I just being impatient?!


    I think the T&C said it gets paid within 14 days of the switch completing but you could always ring them and ask...

  • My switch happened on the 19th April. The email stated 14 days after the closing period which was 30 days after having received the original email, which for me was the 29th March so I don't expect anything until closer to the 12th May.

    Has anyone actually received their £75 incentive yet? I know that they still have until tomorrow to be within 14 days, as I'm guessing everyone that received the email received it on the same day 29th March.

    I've just had a text to say that my switching incentive has been sent and should be showing in the next few days.
