    Sorry if this has already been covered.. 

    Is it possible to get away with applying at more than one of the banks and getting the bonus? 

    I've got a switch going through to an existing Natwest Account, and wondering if it's worthwhile to also attempt it with one of the others? 
    Yes. Everyone is getting 200x3 as far as I can see :)

    Just submitted a switch request to an existing NW account, filled the online form and submitted. But, no email confirmation yet. Should I expect an email after submitting the form?
    I applied to switch into an existing NatWest account on the Thursday or Friday and didn’t hear anything until the Monday. I then got a text and an email.

    Final update from me. Triple switch completed the 1st of March. Transferred £1250 to Natwest first, then to RBS, and finally to Ulster. Natwest and RBS bonuses received yesterday and Ulster today. Thanks to everyone who helped with info.

    Hat trick completed 😀 £600 for little work!

    Gonna buy my football season ticket tonight.. All paid for by these switches...

    Used Chase burner accounts for all 3 switches btw...an absolute breeze!
    Good job!
    Did you answer during the applications that you don't have a Debit Card (since I suppose your Chase card is 'spending from' your first/main Chase CA? I suppose the existence (one or more) 4.1% Chase savings account was not an obstacle either?
    Thanks.

    Oddly, I got the £200 paid into my account before the £1250 had been in for 24 hours!  Existing NW customer, switch completed yesterday and I transferred the £1250 in yesterday just before 5pm and got the text to confirm money in account just after 4pm today! 

    Did you open a new NW account for the switch? If not - how did you start your application please?
    Thanks

    Correct, opened 3 burner accounts & just selected "no debit card" on application as in theory my debit card is only ever used on the one main Chase account which I'm obviously keeping.

    Didn't think all the switches would pay out but all did with absolutely no issues.

    I'm sure it has been ask but have many people had success who've put the money in and out before the switch completes?

    I've never switched before until reading this forum and I have just completed the Nat West offer and received £200. 
    My main bank account is with First Direct (which I want to keep) But have the following available:
    1) Nat West account just opened (won't use it going forward)
    2) Chase Account (2nd account with them, first was opened and used to transfer to Nat West)

    Should I open further Chase Accounts? or use Nat West?. 
    Could anyone advise what banks I could target next? (and in which order)
