Has anyone added the Blue rewards AFTER the closing date for applications/switch? I just remembered I didn't add it as stipulated in the first lot of T&C's because it was showing up as available at time of application, so I've added it today which is obv way past the closing date for this offer. I paid £800 in prior to activating the Blue Rewards, and 1 DD has left my account already also before the Blue Rewards. So now I'm worried because I added it past the closing of the offer date and 2 of the criteria for the Blue Rewards have been met prior to having it activated. Anyone in a similar boat? 

Yes I did it after it completed but do it quickly.

My siblings completed their switch a few days ago and also got theirs today, so this must have been the next tranche of payments.

Switch completed 28/11, £175 incentive just paid in, message to say just received, all that remains is to cancel the blue junk and switch out elsewhere👍👌😁🍻

Both mine and Mrs Zman's appeared in the last hour or so.

[So thank you Barclays, but also goodbye, as your systems and customer service during this last month have been abysmal. App crashes, then told my ID failed, told to visit branch, visit branch and agent agrees ID failed but then finds system suddenly says ID fine before they've even seen my ID, so branch visit a waste of time, then locked out twice over 3 days. I could go on. Even today the app crashed on opening, twice. Not a good look for a mainstream bank.]

lol, don't blame you with some of the issues people have been having with this, i will be downgrading the blue rewards part of the account in a day or so and then keep this account ready as a sacrificial account should need to switch down the line as i may as well leave the plum, money box and PayPal dd's listed as active in case something comes up down the line i am eligible for.

Also received the cash today. Switch was on 23/11. Fingers crossed for some new offer I can switch out to in the new year.

I'm sure it's just a co-incidence they also just sent me a 'we value your feedback' email.
