Me too. I didn't need the card, I'd already received £10 cashback before that had arrived.

How could you spend to get cashback without a debit card?!

assume because can see card details on app and used the card details to buy online or add to phone apple pay

Just to update for my own question - the app updated this morning now showing the pending cashback for current spent, just seems to lag a bit. Cat flea treatment, supermarket shop this weekend should take me up to the £200 to trigger the payout

I had an issue with my Barclaycard showing in the app, but not my new account. It took a branch visit to resolve it, apparently I had two different profiles and they had to be merged. Debit card arrived today.

If a switch completed but DDs were possibly not set up in time,  would Barclays notify the account holder that the incentive would not be paid ?    A friend of mine has not been paid the incentive although I have and we both completed the switch on the same day , 15th Nov.   Does anybody know ?

Darn - Just had a letter from Barclays that my partner's switch from Nationwide is going ahead on 27th Nov.  But only one problem - Looks like it's showing the Nationwide account being switched out of has an incorrect name - albeit my name instead of my partner's name.  Tried to call Barclays, but their line is very busy.  What shall we do now? Have we messed up the switch and can we still rectify it?

Your friend should refer to the switching letter issued by Barclays outlining the DDs to be switched. If there aren't two, then the incentive won't be paid. They may not notify those not qualifying, as nobody had to confirm whether or not they were switching as part of the offer.

The switch will quickly fail if the account names do not match, so you should be able to reapply with the correct details.

Thanks very much masonic.  The barclays letter was received today and it states the switch will take place tomorrow between 6pm and 7:30pm.  How will I know that the switch has failed? Will I get an email from Barclays/Nationwide? Or do I just go ahead and apply for a switch on the 25th which falls on Saturday.  As you can appreciate, I can't wait for Barclays to inform me as they are ridiculously slow and only send out snailmail which would certainly not be received until after 30th Nov.

Presumably Barclays postal comms is about 5 working days behind. Have you received a list of payments that are supposed to be switched yet? I believe some have reported that this was provided in the documents section of the app at around day 2. I would have thought Nationwide would have contacted you by now if you are already on day 6. If there is a switch happening, you should be able to see the DDs on the account by tomorrow morning. But it seems unlikely both Barclays and Nationwide wouldn't notice the account being switched doesn't belong to the switcher.

When I started my switch, I had a notification from Ulster on day 1. It's the fastest I've ever known them do anything. I was expecting them to send the 'sorry you're leaving us' letter by carrier pigeon sometime in 2024.
