Like others, I too have received the £175 switching bonus today. Switch completed on 15th November.

My wife's switch completed on the 17th and she too got the bonus yesterday (20th).

My card arrived yesterday at the same time as my PIN code, so I doubt that should be happening. Pretty much took 9-10 days for everything to arrive.

My DDs for Plum is now showing up on Ulster. Hopefully PayPal or MoneyBox take money out this week and then I can start the switch. I could probably start now but I just want to be sure.

Also good to know people are getting their £175.

Opened a new account last week, via the app and amazingly it all went very smoothly!
Set up Blue Rewards and have started a switch which was confirmed as 27th November.
Access in & out of the app was fine so very pleased.
All good so far…….
However, now (from yesterday evening and again today) every time I try to log into the app I get Error code 00002.
A message comes up telling me to try again (done that) and if no joy, to contact them via the Direct Call button in the app but there isn’t one - all I have is the entry page where I enter the 5 digit code.
Any suggestions please?

Try deleting the app and reinstalling it then signing in again? My Barclaycard app did this after I used the Barclays app to open a cerrent account. Reinstalling the app fixed it.

Tried this and it’s been a disaster!
Deleted the app, reinstalled it and tried to re register but every option to do this seems to need my PIN which hasn’t been sent yet (I have received my debit card today) and I can’t see in the app because I can’t access it! 

Patience needed I guess. Thought it had all gone too well.

Yep, my £175 received yesterday too.

Happy days!

Surpassed my own target for 2023 now

well it looks like my switch has competed today and have also received the £10 for the debit card cash back for november (shows as available today so just requested the £10 to be transferred to my current account now), so hopefully not too long until the switch incentive payment is made.

I received that error code a couple of days after opening sn account on the spp. i called Barclays and they had merged my details from a previous account that I had with them many many years ago, when I had a different mobile number. Their system changed my mobile number on their system, which is why the app was giving the error code. I had to go into branch for them to change my number on their system and then wait for the debit card and security code to arrive so that I could re-register the app

To confirm, you already spent £200 on the debit card?

PayPal in particular has been slower than usual processing new mandates. My first payment is late by a couple of days, so gladI didn't kick off last week and I am now holding fire to ensure it is definitely set up. Just means I may forfeit the first DD reward, but already have the debit card cashback.

I personally didn't wait for Paypal to pay out since it was taking it's time. I started the switch when my other dd which I set up at the same time (plum) paid out. Got a letter from Barclays confirming the DDs were being transferred fine despite not waiting.

I finally got notice the first payment from paypal is going out tomorrow. Funnily enough the payment was actually a small purchase I made, not the bank to paypal withdrawal I did first. I did a bank to paypal deposit at first, but a few days after I just did a cheap purchase to make sure. Good to know for the future that buying something is far quicker to "charge" than trying to just deposit money into your paypal account.
