    I moved my TSB to Barclays fine earlier last month and got the incentive, sounds like a glitch from the last minute - maybe they had closed the process early? Worth a complaint at least

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    Yes, TSB switching should work ok, both I and Mrs Zman did TSB to Barclays in the last 2 weeks. So it looks like a glitch (or the wrong sortcode was entered, which might identify a non-CASS bank!).

    Barclays won't have 'closed the process early' as the switching process had no deadline for closure. It was the switching incentive that had a deadline. You can merely switch anytime.

    I did mean closed it for switching incentives as part of the current offer, sorry!

    The Barclays App is terrible!! In the Help section it says to contact them to use the "Message us" button (or something like that) but I can't find it!! Can anyone tell me where to find it?

    If you're a new customer it won't appear yet, but it should appear eventually. Give it at least 10 working days.

    I just got the following text from Barclays...

    You may have had an issue switching your account to us last night in the app - we're so sorry about this. If you haven't been able to complete your switch yet and would like to take advantage of our £175 Current Account Switch offer, please do so before Tuesday 5 December. As long as you meet the eligibility, you'll still receive the £175 bonus. Thanks for bearing with us. Your Barclays team.

    Phew! Pleased I was too busy with work to call them today!
