Santander £185 Switch Offer: 18/03/24

easyasonetwothree

For any existing customers that were wondering - I had no luck on the phone but was able to do the switch in branch with an appointment, took 10 mins. It was hard getting an appointment though!
Also, the account I switched into my Santander joint account was a solo account, no issues.

Switch completed today and I have transferred  £1500 and this can take care of bills.

Thanks @Bridlington1 and @MuckChucker - I'll try and use your methods.

@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?

On my own spreadsheet the columns I have are Bank, Bonus amount, account open date, switch date, date bonus received and notes. In the notes section I put what bank account I switched into the bank that offers the bonus and anything else like if I received an additional bonus for refering someone or if I was referred by someone or if I got some more money after a complaint like I got from Barclays as the switch to them was riddled with issues.

The last row just has a total adding all the bonuses up. We've got separate tabs for me, my wife and joint account switches. I've also added some bits to calculate the totals earned in each year. We went a bit switch mad last year and between us made £3,075. Don't think we can beat that as previous record was £900 in 2022.

Hi, does anyone know how long it usually takes for the second online login letter to come via post?

Re keeping tabs on switches, my son asked me today if I'd heard of this 'Switch Tracker' app. I hadn't, and can't see any previous reference to it on this forum:

Not sure I see the value over just a spreadsheet/email labels personally. I wonder if they have the relevant FCA certification needed to advertise banking services...

Hi
I already have a 123 account and keen to open an everyday current account for the switch (from Natwest). Also looking to grab the £25 from TCB. Just checking those who have done it - have you done it via the apps on the phone  - or on the websites?

TCB says you can't do it in the app or it won't track, so do it in a web browser straight from the TCB link. (This shows on the screen when you click to get the cashback from TCB)

Cheers, will do
