Next switch?

Hi All
New to account switching but just got a Barclays switch underway.
Question is, what to switch next, I have a Nationwide A/C for my regular banking and I used an old First Direct account to switch to Barclays so can't go there again.
I have x2 DDs on the First Direct ac so once I get the £175 from Barclays I'd like to find another bank to switch it to but can't find anything online.
Just a case of wait and see or is there a list of available switch bonuses somewhere I've missed?
Cheers

    There's not much about at the moment but it's a bit like buses, none come when you want them then 2 come together

    The best bet is to open a couple of burner accounts and be ready then you can sit back and relax

    I'm hoping Virgin Money Bank or Bank of Scotland bring out an offer sometime soon.  I've claimed off all the others, often more than once!  Fingers crossed.

    Virgin Money did something around Black Friday last year, so maybe. Santander haven't done anything in a while but have been fairly frequent since covid.
    Pretty sure Bank of Scotland have never done a switch offer (on Bank of Scotland branded accounts, at least). I suspect they'd probably exclude recent Halifax/Lloyds offer recipients if they did one.
    An offer from Metro, Starling or Chase would be nice, but not holding my breath.

    Have you received a switch bonus from Nationwide recently? They offer bonus even if the account is not new

    Really? Nope, never had a NW switch bonus......just off to have a look!
    Had a look! Thanks for that, when my First Direct - Barclays switch completes I'll be switching the Barclays to my existing NW ac. £200 in the pot!
    Cheers

    Just find a bank you're happy with and try and break the habit of going after free money. Your dignity will benefit. I know exactly who will comment negatively on my comment and who with sycophantically 'thank' them.
