Am I right in thinking the £5pm for 20x debit card transactions last for 6 months from opening the account?

Yes, but remember you need 5 debit card transactions each month between September and February in order to stay eligible for the £75. In my case I did 20 x £1 payments in Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec and Jan, but just 5 debit card payments this month.

Has anyone received the extra £75 yet ?
I know it says by 31st March but if you've done everything needed does it get paid earlier?

 Everyone eligible will be paid at the same point, probably in the week or two before Easter. We're still within the qualifying window until the end of this month, so it definitely won't be before then.

Timely reminder to change my £1 auto top off this month as only need 5 rather than 20. Does that mean don't need any next month?

That's correct, you won't need to do any debit card transactions next month.

No requirement for March except that the account must remain open until the bonus is paid. I'll be leaving the DDs where they are (just in case the active DD check is actually done then and hasn't been done each month) but won't be making any debit card transactions.

Any chance we can take the "New" off the title of this thread? It's a bit out of date now.

Done.

Just resurrecting this thread. Has anyone received the £75 bonus yet? Assuming TSB will drag it out until the end of the month.

No. The validation period has only just ended last week. Highly likely it'll be paid either the week before Easter or the one before that.

I'm hoping the £75 bonus arrives sooner rather than later as I'm planning to switch my TSB account to Natwest for their £200 bonus. Don't want to jeopardize the £75 though! I've also still got £20 Topcashback pending on the TSB switch.

I'm doing the same. My intention is to put a switch request in next week some time, dated for a full month away, that way I'm covered if Natwest subsequently pull the offer.

If the money from TSB doesn't arrive by the end of March, I'll cancel the Natwest switch so that I can progress the complaint.

Have either of you not considered keeping your TSB account, so that you can open up the TSB Monthly Saver, which pays a fixed rate of 6% interest for 12 months.

It is very easy to open another current account to switch to Natwest
