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). 

Hmmm......i thought some people were getting the bonus even though they had an incentive since Jan 2020!

Maybe they were just lucky.

I complete all criteria for Ulster and Natwest on 4th March

Natwest paid the bonus on 8th. Still waiting on Ulster though, i may possibly have received an incentive here since 2020

If you're trying to get a bonus from RBS when you got one from them since 2020 then that's unlikely to work.
If you're trying to get a bonus from NatWest when you got one from them since 2020 then that's also unlikely to work.

There's no evidence on here (that I can see) of anyone having managed to do this. When did these switches complete?

The Ulster bonus is probably the only one you'll get.

I've had switch bonuses previously from RBS and NatWest when I wasn't eligible for either, but from memory I had always opened a new account and switched in as opposed to switching into an existing account. It's maybe easier to slip through the cracks that way?

I knew the RBS and NatWest incentives were unlikely but based on previous experience I thought it was worth a shot. No harm done and I still have £200 from Ulster.

Did any long time NatWest customers succeed in getting the bonus? I have an account with NatWest but does not carry the "Select" label.

Applied for Ulster on Friday afternoon and no email or update from them yet, not sure if I should contact them

I was in the same boat and contacted them today, they said to wait at least 2 working days for an online application before contacting them and an email will go out for ID confirmation etc. so just need to be patient

To add to this I've just had the ID check through this afternoon so they're just slow haha!

I've applied for the NW Select and I'm now in the process of the Ulster Select application (RBS will be next).

During the Ulster application it asks "Do you already have a bank account?". Of course I do, but should I put the month/date of the account I'm planning on switching from, or a different account i will be keeping/not switching, or doesnt it make a difference?

I've seen a few people say Ulster's application is a bit different to other banks so I dont want to say the date an account was opened was one thing and then when I switch a different account they point out that the opening dates don't match (for reference, I was thinking to put my TSB opening date which was late January, unless it needs to be the account I'll be switching from which is Chase and was opened yesterday!)

Thanks in advance!

Someone may correct me but that question is ID and credit check related and is nothing to do with the switch. I generally put the details of my oldest account for that reason. I've also opened an Ulster account and used a new account for the switch which switches tomorrow.

Cheers

If that's the case then it's yet another account! But also likely the one I'd be transferring from. Thanks for the clarification!

The form timed out so I'll start it again later this evening.

Hi thank you for the advice on whether I could do two separate deposits of the £1250. As I didn’t have the whole 1250 available/ I  did half then withdrew after 24hours  then the other half and withdrew after 24 hours. Switch completed on the 7th and I got my switch bonus today at 4pm

Has anyone NOT received the activation code from Ulster within their promised 48 hours after receiving the customer number?
