Lloyds current account switching offer - how long until payment?

I set up a switch to a Lloyds (Club Lloyds) current account on Monday. The switch is progressing fine so far. Does anyone know when the £175 switching bonus should be paid into the account? 

I'd like to switch over to Barclays before the end of November and claim another £175 off them too!

    I'm in exactly the same boat - they told me my switch from Natwest would be complete by the 17th (tomorrow) - I logged in today and the £175 is already there. They have not transferred my Natwest balance across yet however.

    My only question now - they've emailed and said I'll get my Club Lloyds reward (12 Month Disney+ sub) emailed to me within 2 working days of 8/12. If I've switch to another bank before then, will I still get that or do I need to wait until at least that day?
  • When I switched, I received the bonus before the switch was completed.

    With regard to the Disney+, it will be cancelled if you close your Club Lloyds account.

    Same here with £175 paid half way through switch period
  • Thanks guys. 
    What happens with the Disney+? Does it cancel as soon as you close your Club Lloyds account?

    The Disney plus doesn't become active until a month after uou select it, so it will be cacelled within that period

    From the Disney+ Q&As:

    Will I still have access to Disney+ if I cancel my Club Lloyds account?

    No, from the date you close your Bank account your access to Disney+ will be revoked and you will no longer be able to access the service.

    If you had paid-for subscription with Disney+ your payments will resume.
