Is there a specific thread for when new bank switch cashback offers become available?

Sorry, if one already exists, but I can't find a specific thread that alerts when these become available...
If there isn't one, we could perhaps do with one just titled Current Bank Switching Cashback Offers & pin it?

Not on the Forum but there's a section on the main MSE site where such offers are generally listed
https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/banking/compare-best-bank-accounts/
and a new thread will usually appear here within hours of a new offer being announced.2 -
There isn't one. But if there was it would soon fill up with a confusing mass of queries and comments (anyone can and will post anything!) so would probably become fairly useless very quickly.SickGroove said:Sorry, if one already exists, but I can't find a specific thread that alerts when these become available...

Far better, in my view, to rely on the existing, albeit informal and unofficial, system: Which is that when a new offer comes up someone notices it within hours (sometimes before it's even launched) and starts a new thread that is then at the top, or high enough to notice, of the threads list for weeks afterwards.
Just keep an eye on this board, 'budgeting and bank accounts' and you won't miss one. Just checking once a week would suffice as most offers run for weeks and often months.
And, of course, the official MSE emailed newsletter and the main pages will pick the offers up too - though the forum is usually ahead by a few days.6 -

Or just swing by this forum once a week or so.4

Not on the forum but what will happen is countless threads being made some asking the same question - instead of creating a mega thread each time for a switch offer and closing down others.
Been told before the forum set up doesn’t moderate that way - but they get the time to message people or warn people if a rule is broken so can see the difference in checking once a day0 -
The best and fastest one will certainly come from eagle eyes of a group of people with similar interest such as from MSE members with link posted by "flaneurs_lobster"SickGroove said:Sorry, if one already exists, but I can't find a specific thread that alerts when these become available...
