Can I open an new account with bank A  today then once account is opened  switch to bank B to get the award?

Yes. I just added a Chase account via the app and used that. No card. No direct debits. Just £1 in the account.

Is this your first time using Chase as a donor? I've just switched one for the Coop offer. Wondered if they might take offence if I open another so close to switching out. 

Cheers

This is my third one

Opened mine painlessly . I have no existing account. My Mrs has a CC with them, and it's a pain, takes longer plus huuyu or whatever its called won't accept a pic from her phone of ID, just says not enough memory to perform it , or words to that effect. Any ideas anyone??

so are you opening additional account in chase and switching that one ? so your main chase account with debit card will remain active ?

I have Ulster Bank current account. Can I switch to natwest or rbs and qualify for the switch bonus?

Made the switch to my existing account, thank you for posting OP! That was so simple.
I haven't had any email/text confirmation though. Fingers crossed it went through.

Oops, wish i'd read this, I was just getting an additional DD onto my chase account for the Lloyds offer (didnt really want to lose chase, but seemed too good to miss). 

Then this morning I saw the Natwest and jumped in and used my Chase account, that has one DD and 1 setting up (even though they werent needed for the offer). 

I havent yet been through the ID check. So I am thinking 2 options. 

1. Could I cancel the Natwest switch and start again with a new additional chase account? Or 

2. Before it switches, could i add another Chase account to use for Lloyds (and get the DDs set up)? Or do they view it as the Main Chase account, from which i wouldnt be able to hold additional?

Sorry, so many questions, but i want to take advantage of both.

 Worth noting this sneaky little clause in the T&Cs:

'For a payment to be counted towards the £1,250, the funds must remain in the account for a period of 24 hours.'
