    did anyone do a switch for themselves and OH at the same time? everything exactly the same process and timeline? has anyone since been paid the incentive to one but not the other? for those who've had incentives paid to both were incentives paid at exactly the same time?
    thank you.

    Do they not pay switch incentives at the weekend? What the latest they get paid on a week day?
  • Have I forgot to do something?
    Natwest switch completed on 28th AM I immediately payed in £1250 (was before my confirmation text from NW, but as soon as Chase told me it was complete). I have logged in to online banking (many times). Never had any swith from the group. Am i being impatient? Money has been in 36 hours. Maybe tomorrow eh?
    Got RBS confiration of switch completion this morning and just paid in the 1250, so that one is a bit behind.

    NatWest: Assuming you paid in your £1,250 on the 28th and left it there for 24 hours you should get your bonus either on the 1st or 2nd March. The 1st if they're not being strict about the 24 hours, the 2nd if they are.

    RBS: 2nd or 3rd March for same reasons.
    Got my Natwest 200 today. Very happy

    That's excellent. RBS should actually be 4th or 5th as I forgot that the 2nd and 3rd are on the weekend. They don't pay the bonuses on weekends.
    I think they do pay the bonuses during weekends, they specify ‘within 7 calendar days’ as opposed to working days 😊

    Last June my wife got the £200 NatWest but I didn't. We were both doubly/triply ineligible having received NatWest bonuses in 2018, RBS ones in 2022 and Ulster ones in 2023.
    The difference last year would appear to be that I switched into an existing NatWest a/c that I had held since before the 2018 payout whereas my wife wasn't an existing customer.
    The 2018 payout doesn't count in the current promotion so I opened a new Select a/c for myself & switched in... result £200 paid today completing the 6 bonuses.

    I put my 1250 in on the day I opened the Nat west account, and then realising it might be better after the switch, withdrew it again the same day.My switch happened on 27th and inventive received despite there only being £1 in there from the do not account.
    Did you also leave in for 24 hours?
    No, withdrew £1000 immediately and £250 next day ( as 1k max per day on app)
    Sorry just to check, was you able to withdraw it before you got the card etc? As I know sometimes when you do transfers from app, you need to use a card reader. I do on my main (nationwide) if I haven’t sent money to that account before. 

    Or did it just let you?

    Got my RBS £200 today. They text me to say it was in and I can confirm that it was. Great stuff.
