Barclays £175 switch offer - new customers only, Nov 1 - 30 2023

Finally got my £175 after completing my switch on 10th November, however I have attempted to transfer the money to my main current account and the payment is “pending”!  You couldn’t make it up 😯

For anyone cancelling Blue Rewards after the switch incentive has paid - I've had 2 notifications since cancelling Blue Rewards:

News about your Blue Rewards

You'll find it in 'Statements and documents'

...except there's nothing there in the app or online banking (why does that not surprise me). I did have an email confirming cancellation though, just in case they forget and take January's £5.

Also, received the £175 incentive today - switch completed on 21/11

Got mine too, switch completed on the 21st.

Takes me over £1000 in switching bonuses since I started in July, easy money.

Hoping there is a Santander offer next.

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👍👌😁🍻

Where to next? Co op seems only option at the mo?

and any one looking to switch this out to coop needs to do so quick, as per https://www.co-operativebank.co.uk/products/bank-accounts/refer-a-friend/ that offer is due to finish on 15 December

Yes started switch today, assume will be OK for £125 if application has commenced before 15th? Looks like you have to wait for a sort code and acc no before you can fill out the form.

I know this is the Barclays thread but just spoke to coop as long as your switch starts before 15th you can still get the incentive.

I have also just received the £175. It all went remarkably smoothly for me. Hopefully there will be some more switching offers along shortly.

Bonus also received today. Switch completed on 5th December.

(...but I receive the VX016 error when trying to leave Blue Rewards. The problems continue! The litany of complaints grows.)

£175 came through today after my switch completed on the 7th December.

In case anyone is in the same boat, I switched to the Premier account, didn't sign up for Barclays Blue Rewards, and still got the bonus.

Mine is also in today - Switch happened on 6th December, so fairly quick.
