Barclays Switch bonus rules

mrsmsebastian

Hi all,
Does it matter which done first to be eligible for the bonus, is it joining blue rewards and switch or switch then join blue rewards first?

What I did was opening a sole account then join blue rewards then pay in £800 (which I then withdrew after 2 days) then switch my old account which already has 2 dd's in it.  I was given 22nd of November for a switch date.
Is this process right or did I mess it up?

Thanks

1. a) Download the Barclays App and use it to apply for and open a sole Barclays Bank Account and join Blue Rewards (£5 monthly membership fee applies), or (b) Download the Barclays App and use it to apply for and open a sole Premier Current Account (eligibility criteria applies)
2. Complete a full Current Account Switch via the Barclays App from another provider, this must include at least 2 active direct debits, to your eligible account using the Current Account Switch Service

IMHO, the order is perfectly clear

That all looks ok. You have opened account and joined Blue Rewards. When your switch completes you'll have met the criteria.
