Just seen the never had a current account rule - do you think a child account means you cannot yet the bonus?

I saw that on the MSE switching offers page too. I had a student account with Barclays back in the 1990s. Does that mean I won't qualify?

It doesn’t say never had a current sccount. It says providing that you don’t HOLD a current account.

Having spoken to them the intention is to only debar those who had one of the listed accounts at the start of the offer.

Ive set up 2 direct debits which show on my current banks app, but payment isnt due to be taken until 3 weeks time. Does this still count as active?

Yes it does

I've opened an account this morning using the app.
I've joined Blue Rewards(think this is a requirement).

However I cannot see how I start a switch!  Any advice please?

Also I have not received any email confirmation from Barclays which I find a little odd. The account is fully open but no emails. This the Barclays way?

Login to the app, select Products in the bottom menu and scroll down to 'Our Services'. Switch account is top left.

Applied through the app. Unbelievable faff. Couldn't confirm identity, call for a branch appointment. Number is normal banking line. A very robust automated system determined to get debit card/account details and not queue you for a human. Had to give it 5 mins of the silent treatment before it caved.

25 minute hold. Sorry sir, next appointment in your area end of November. Or drive 40 miles for one in mid-November. 

Strewth. Feel like I've earned my £175 already!

northwalesd thank you very much :-)

Is it necessary to join Blue Rewards to qualify for the switch bonus?
What happens if you do not pay in the £800 per month?

Thanks
