Am I able to simply move from RBS then NatWest followed by Ulster and get all 3 bonus or would I need two burner accounts to get the other two or is it too late at this point
That wouldnt have worked, youd have needed a couple more donor accounts but its too late now anyway. From the sounds of it you will at least be getting £200 so not too bad.
Maybe take a look at the Santander offer for another £1850 -
This is incorrect. They are both the same. The fact that many people have received their bonuses when they deposited their £1,250 before the switch completion date confirms this.RG2015 said:

The terms for switching to NatWest say "complete a switch of a non-NatWest current account to your eligible account", so probably yes, but to be on the safe side I would probably use a burner account from a different banking group. As the offer has ended it doesn't really matter for now until they start a new one.Redarmy32 said:Wish I'd looked at this sooner I've never had a switching bonus from any of the three but did RBS last week and moved the £1250 in yesterday so just waiting for their bonus.

Ulster want me to return my letter, it needs a signature. I've done the identification online, so the signature is all they want. It sounds like the rest of you got a different letter to me, hmph!0

I did the Ulster switch last year and the only thing I had to return was the letter with signature.goatfaced said:Ulster want me to return my letter, it needs a signature.

I think there is some misunderstanding here. I am commenting on two different statements by two different people.danny13579 said:

" I now have a switch date from Natwest, its completing on 9th (next tuesday) will the £1250 payment in work for the Incentive if i pay it in now rather than after switch has finalised?"
@Nasqueron said;
".....there isn't really anything to be gained by ignoring the terms of the switch and paying early"
How can these two be describing the same thing?

It may work, it may not, I just don't see any point in ignoring the terms that say pay in after the switch completes - at best, you get the money, at worst, you have to bump the money back in again for another 24 hours potentially losing a bit of interest or not having the funds available again. It may not make any difference but you have 60 days anyway so why not just do it per the terms and avoid any gamble?RG2015 said:

How can these two be describing the same thing?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.
