NatWest/RBS/Ulster £200 Switching Offer 15/2/2024-2/4/2024

I went with the Ulster account and switch completed on 4th March. Paid first chunk of money in later that day and made the final transfer into the account yesterday to take me over the £1,250 mark (had to do the transfer in smaller chunks over the past week)

Going to leave it in until Monday and hope the incentive is paid later this week

My switch to Ulster Bank will complete on Tuesday.  It will be my final switch in the trilogy!  Hoping that by Friday I might have received their £200 incentive, if I do then I will be joining other members of the group who have received all three.  Good luck to everyone else!  I think I have pretty much exhausted my switch opportunities now, just waiting to see if Santander introduce an offer, that would then be my final switch for quite a while.  As things stand this year, I have generated £500 from the combined value of coop, natwest and rbs.  If I can take that to £700 that would be so good!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you apply to switch it asks if you have a debit card with the account you are switching from and says if you answer wrongly you may be rejected. I am switching from a second chase account, so not sure what to say, as I assume it used same debit card as the first account. What have others switching from chase found?

I tick no ,  after a few days the second Chase account will give you a date when it will be closing ,

Just to update from my previous post. My switch completed 6th March , £1250 was in that day and left in for two days. Got the payment and text this morning (10th) . I got a switch bonus from RBS last year so I’m guessing not sure to try them but I’m going to try Ulster now and RBS I will try for my husband as he had Natwest last year.

Looks like I'll only be getting £200 out of a possible £600. I've had bonus payments from RBS and NatWest since January 2020 so I technically wasn't eligible but decided to try and switch into my existing accounts. Switches went through, but no bonus payments have come through. I have never had an Ulster account so opened a new one and had my £200 payment come in (this switch completed after the RBS and NatWest one's so I am fairly confident this is my only bonus payment).

I can only tell what happened to me. I opened a second account with Chase and moved my original account to the Co-Op, others will tell you to move the second account but I did not.

I then opened a third account with Chase and moved that to NatWest for a bonus. On both switches I entered the same debit card details and both worked fine and have paid out. You tell me what is the correct way, all I can say is it worked for me. And my Chase debit card is still linked to my remaining Chase account.

May i ask when your Ulster switch took place and approx dates for fulfilling the £1250 reqs and when the bonus was then paid ?

I understand that the Switching Offer also works for existing customer. I've been with Natwest from more than 10 years and this is my main account. The account has no 'label' such as "Select' or "Reward", possibly due to being an old account. Would this be a "Select" account and thus eligible for the offer?

How recently had you had bonuses from Natwest and RBS?
