    Anyone rejected by RBS and subsequently appealed, do you have the number to call their specialist team? You can DM me if you don't want to post it here. 

    I appealed by email 2 days ago, but haven't heard anything.

    I've just tried to open an Ulster Bank account, but am stuck at a question about which is my nearest branch's sort code?  I can't find any branches even in the UK!  I've not seen this particular problem mentioned before, so where am I going wrong on the application?
    I also just submitted by Ulster application (Was accepted for Natwest and Rejected by RBS - on the same day). Was asked for branch, so chose one in Belfast.

    Also, I haven't received any email or text from Ulster after submission and wasn't sent to HooYu service for ID verification, was it the same for others?
    HooYu took about a day to come through via text and email

    Got the £200 from NatWest. I'm surprised because I put the last chunk of money in but took it out before 24 hours had passed due to something that came up, but it still seemed to qualify. Maybe the 24 hour limit isn't that strict/accurate. Though I do recall someone mentioning they qualified from money they put in before the switch completed, could maybe be that instead?

    My RBS switch was done on 6th, £1250 paid in 10:03 that day, removed around 11 on the 7th - will wait until Monday and then bounce £1250 in again for a day and see if that triggers it if they don't pay it by then. 
    I would expect you to receive the bonus either today, probably between 3.00 and 4.00 or Monday, based on the patterns shown so far. But it can take up to 7 days. No need to bounce the £1,250 in again, that won't make any difference.
    It's just in case it didn't register, I think it had 25 hours maybe and was after switch completed,  
    As it was after switch completed when you put in your £1,250, it was the 7th when you satisfied the offer so that's why I say it could be Monday based on patterns so far. But if they go by your switch date I think it could arrive this afternoon. Patience Padawan.  ;)
    Haha no worries dude, I don't have any plans for the £200 so if it arrived it was just a bonus, whether today or Monday or never.

    As it happens they paid it today at some point I guess before 4pm so that proves that you can receive the incentive since 2020 - as mine (from NatWest) was paid in January 2020 after a December 2019 switch - and still get the bonus for a switch into the same group.

    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.
