    I've typed in my sc and acc num and not yet received a letter confirming the switch 

    All I have to do now is deposit £1250 and wait 7 sleeps?
    Pay in the £1250 right now then take it back out tomorrow.  Jumping through this hoop early on gets you the bonus quicker.

    How long do you need to keep the account open for once you receive the switch bonus?

    Or you could keep it open which would allow you to open their regular saver that pays 6% interest.

    I would agree and you could also pay out 2 DDs each month from it and keep it for the reward account whilst you're at it.

    Agreed - and if eligible for the premier reward version you can make £96 profit a year

    In practice you'd need to meet the Income threshold. 

    Natwest's mortgage rates aren't generally the best so you'd save more than £96 per year by using a more competitive lender. And given their savings rates and the fact you'd be over the £85k FSCS thresholds, only a mad man would deposit >£100k into a Natwest savings account. Their investment proposition isn't competitive either.
