    My switch to Ulster completed on afternoon of 8th. Paid money in about 5pm on 8th. Got £200 about 12.30 today. That's the treble done for me. Wife only did NatWest, as she doesn't like having too many accounts.

    Just had text confirmation from NatWest that my switch from Chase has completed. I moved the £1,250 in at the end of last week. Still no £200 bonus. I will give it another week and then transfer it out and back in again if I still haven't seen it.
    You don't get the bonus straight away. Once you've fulfilled all of the conditions you need to give it a week, but based on patterns on here it usually takes around 2 working days.
    Thanks mate. I thought as much but because I moved the £1250 over a good few days before the switch completed, I wasn't sure if it would be recognised. Let's see, hopefully before the weekend I will see it.

    That's me received the final part of the triple crown today as Ulster paid my £200.  I am once again thanking the OP - and I'm also thanking the first person that attempted to get multiple bonuses from the group and reported it working on here after they got them.  It's £200 + another £400 I never would have had otherwise.

    Ulster paid the bonus quickly, roughly 36 hours after I completed all the steps and at the exact same speed of paying the bonus out as NatWest.  It was RBS, my first one, who took the longest to pay the bonus at 4 working days after completing all the steps for me.
  • Hi all,

    Are the Ulster and RBS offers still available- do we know until when?

    I have just completed the switch with Natwest and am awaiting the £200, do you think it will significantly harm my credit rating if I go for the Ulster and RBS offers as well? (bear in mind I am a student with no credit record).

    Should I make new 'dummy' accounts with new banks for these switch offers or can I make a chain of switching e.g. Natwest>RBS>Ulster etc?

    Thanks,

    The offers are not available any more. If you are mid switch having started the offer before they were removed then you should get the bonus, but you cant initiate a switch for the offer anymore. I missed the Santander switch offer recently so hoping another one comes from someone in future. Having donor accounts ready to go is a good thing imo, but bear in mind you might be hard credit checked opening one.

    My 6th switch for me and my partner completed at Ulster this morning. £1200 for very little effort. I made a mistake with the final switch and accidentally switched the NatWest account that I had just got the £200 from to Ulster rather than the dummy Chase account that I had setup. I phoned Ulster to try and change the details but gave up in the end as their customer service was useless. The switch proceeded as normal and they paid out straight away. I know that it's been proven on here numerous times that NatWest/RBS/Ulster don't talk to each other, but it's quiet funny that they paid me twice to switch from one of their banks directly to another.

    I know it seems strange but once you're switching from a different bank (rather than a different banking group) it's within the terms for getting the bonus.

    It isn't the second or third times according to the terms tho, which I think is @Tonski's point.

    I can see he switched from NatWest to Ulster as one of the switches. Was one of the other switches within the NatWest group as well, if he got paid twice for switching within the group?
