    Has anyone managed to get the £200 without logging in to online banking I tried before the account was fully set up and it locked

    I for one am happy to have got the incentive from NatWest, CO Op and Barclays.  It was temping to apply to RBS and Ulster but I do not want to be in a position being faced with a life ban and for me the cash amounts offered do not really warrant the risk.

    My Ulster one was locked before I had even tried to log in, i cant rememver quite how i resolved it, but I managed to use Cora on the app, but i think logging in on a computer first, rather than the app did the trick. Then the app worked. You'll need the app anyway, to move your money back out won't you?

    What's the easiest way to close all these new accounts I have open :)  Had my 3 bonuses and now want the accounts gone.  Assume it can all be done online?
    Why close them? switch them elsewhere?

    Chase to NatWest completed yesterday (11.3.) just received a txt saying £200 is in my account.  Signed Ulster Bank paperwork and sent it off.  Just done Chase to RBS ID check.  Happy days !!
  • My final switch to Ulster Bank just completed (around 11:30am).  I just transferred £1,255 into my new Ulster Bank account.  Let’s wait and see what happens, fingers crossed by Friday the £200 will arrive.  At that point I’ll be done with switching I think; although it’s obviously a very appealing thing to do (especially given how useful the money is), I have reached a point at which I no longer want to negatively impact my credit score.  As things stand, I think I am only now in a position to go for one or two more (assuming Santander introduces a new offer etc).

     Good luck everyone! 🤞

    I am the same as you. Last switch (Ulster) completed yesterday, money went in this morning. Though I have been very naughty and used all the overdrafts I have to make it up! So I think, yeah might check out my credit score soon, if I dare!
    Barclays, HSBC, Nationwide, Lloyds, TSB, the triple  ;) 
    Think I missed a Co-op one, but wasn't sure about the referral thing.
    Only started on this late last year, hadn't dared before. Got my husband on the gravy train now!
