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

I have no need for it, already over my PSA next year as it is and 6% is a very mediocre rate as these things go. I also have other TSB accounts in any case.

Yes, I'm thinking likewise, though I wasn't too sure though how long you could defer the switch date to.

Stargunner - yes I already have the TSB Monthly Saver but I think it's worth sacrificing for the Natwest £200 bonus. In all honesty I have more monthly savers than I can keep up with (and afford) at the moment. Most of my savings now are in fixed and notice accounts so I don't have that much 'available cash' currently. I have 3 monthly savers maturing this month, I will only be renewing my reg Club Lloyds saver out of these.

30 days in the future. That's the switch date tho, if you need to cancel it you need to do it 7/8 working days ahead of that, and Easter will throw that a bit, that's why I'm waiting til next week.

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

Nothing yet. Fingers crossed for it soon though

WillPS Not sure where you got your 30 days info from but it didn't work for me. I applied for the account yesterday hoping to set a switch date for April the 8th or 9th. However nowhere during the application process does it allow you to choose a date. Before you know it the application is over.
Although my identity checks were approved and my account was 'reserved' I didn't get a confirmation email until today saying the account is being set up.
Then to my surprise a few hours later I received a text and email saying my switch has started and will be completed by 19/03/24. Although I have my new account details, the pin and password aren't being recognised yet so I can't log in to see what my options are. It's looking very likely now that I'm going to lose my final TSB payment.
I did also apply for the RBS account too using a Chase CA for the switch but that bombed out on me during the application although I did manage to complete the photo identity check. I'll chase this one up after I hopefully sort out the TSB switch.

Open the account without a switch, then switch as an existing customer:

Ahh - easy when you know how. It's a bit annoying as being able to choose your switch date is usually included in the application process. Oh well, at least I know now for next time. 
Thankfully I've heard from RBS today that my application has been successful so if I receive the £200 bonus on both switches it'll make the TSB loss a bit more palatable.

They're related to the TSB account tho - we want to use the TSB accounts as donors once that same £75 payment comes through
