Don't think you can get the offer if you switch from one Santander account to another. But you could get a burner account, switch from that to Edge Up to get the offer and later move the other account to the Edge Up one.

Why not? Existing customers can get the switch offer too.

Because even if you've never had a switch bonus from the bank, the offer T&C's require you to firstly use the CASS service to switch another account in, and secondly the account switched in must be from another bank...or did you miss the post that @danco was responding to?

Usually you have to switch from a bank that is different to the one you are switching to.  A change of account at the same bank wouldn't be a switch.

Oh I see. Yes, an account/change upgrade to an eligible account isn't sufficient to get the bonus - but then nor is opening an eligible account. In either case, or indeed if you already have an eligible account, the bonus can be obtained by doing a CASS switch (from a non-Santander bank account).

There's a number you can ring too - it's on this thread somewhere. For whatever reason they don't publicise it but it works.

You can only get the switch incentive if you switch a non-Santander account into a Santander account. This can be an existing or a new Santander account.

@Bridlington1 - I'm struggling with designing a spreadsheet that can keep a track of everything.  Do you have any suggestions? for example layout or what to enter?

I would just start with the basic information and work from there. For keeping track of switching offers it doesn't need to be anything fancy, I would just have one column showing the bank name, another showing the amount received and a third showing the date you received the money.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but can I transfer £1500 from my Santander savings account to my Santander current account ? Or does it have to come from another bank ?

I just created a "Bank Switch" folder in my email and when I receive the first email (usually the "Welcome" email), I just tag it for that folder. I can always then just click into that folder to check banks and dates when in doubt

Gone for it, rude not to, especially with the TCB 'bonus'. Which has tracked within a few minutes. Just have to wait for my details to come through in the post now.
