Ditto, switch done 13th, money in today 
Now to spend £200 on the debit next 2 months for the cashback!

How much do you get back for spending £200

Have your DD’s already paid out to get the money that quick 

You're mixing up the offers

Switch bonus = move the account with 2x DD on it (they do not have to pay out) + join Barclays Blue 
Barclays Blue = pay £5 a month, get £5 a month back provided you have 2 DD taken that month + pay in £800 to remain a member
Current offer in Blue (you need to register for it) = Cashback rewards - 5% cashback on up to £200 debit card spend (capped at £10 pay out hence £200 spend) for November and December

Has anyone bought premium bonds using their debit card and received the cashback?

Yes I bought £100 of premium bonds and received cashback 😀 

Better buy another £100 then to max out the cashback

I applied for the account online and got accepted straight off. Had to wait until I got my debit card and card pin, which arrived today. They also said I'll receive in an email a 5 digit pin to access my account via the app to set up banking that way. The 5 digit pin hasn't arrived yet.

I now have the agonizing wait for the card to come through the post so I can register the app so I can begin the switch and join Blue-Rewards. Royal Mail round here isn't the best so it's going to be a close call weather I get the card before the 30th Nov!!

Assuming this is Barclays, you can access your debit card details through the app once your PIN sentry activates

i am going to the branch today to show my ID as I applied through the app, what do i need to tell the branch staff so i am still eligible for the switch reward after the account is open and i do the switch.

do i need to make it clear to them i want the account opened through the app ?

I would stress that yes. From what a few posters stated earlier when they had to do branch visits, the branch staff did whatever they needed to verify ID and then they helped the applicants completed rest of the application through the app

Switch completed last Tuesday 14th and £175 paid out today 20th.
Just no one else to move too now 

I'm trying First Direct.  Ive had a switch bonus in the past from them, but the account has dropped off my credit files now.  I read a thread on here that FD paid people a 2nd incentive.  Will report back if they do.

Good luck - FD are known for having long memories

if you started the switch today and answered no on the barclays app to having a debit card on the account you are switching over ( when you do actually have one - i forgot) will the switch complete or fail ?

i phoned my bank im switching away from straight away and cancelled the debit card and said dont send a new one..

Safest bet is to say you have a card and provide the card details, but if there's no active card on your donor account then you *should* be okay. Look forward to hearing how it goes

Assuming this is Barclays, you cann access your debit card details throug the app once your PIN sentry activates

Might have misunderstood you there - you need the debit card details for your donor account to complete the switch. It doesn't matter if your Barclays card details have arrived or not

Received my £175 today 

opened the account on 7th

from first arriving on this thread I thought it was going to be a nightmare 

no fuss no stress I just sat back and let it roll.
