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.

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

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.

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.
