    I opened the new account and initiated the switch (selecting earliest date possible) on 30th March. Based on others' experience I was expecting the bonus by today, but nada. Will chase it up once the 60 days has properly passed. Fulfilled all of the criteria, the only obstacle that I could think of is that I recently opened an Edge current account as well, and technically they could withhold the bonus for 'gaming' it (though unlikely I'd have thought). 
    Got weighed in yesterday (in case anyone still waiting had a similar scenario).

    Same here, both me and Mr Cheery switched on 10th April, both bonuses paid today 😊

    Think we've exhausted the current crop of switching bonuses now sadly,  but it's been a good run!

    Same - £185 landed in both sole accounts.   Thanks for all your help everyone.

    I'm afraid I can't go for the new Co-op switch offer because I already got paid for it earlier this year.

    Looks as if they've only gotten past Easter switch start dates with assessing accounts and that they're now either checking the accounts well after the 60 days in the terms or they're checking them on day 60 but are slower in paying the bonuses, my guess is the former.

    As the offer ended on 4th April, going by this pattern, anyone who applied for this offer and is eligible should have received their bonus by tomorrow or next Monday.

    I mucked up with the switch :s didn't read it correctly so won't be getting the switch money.
    Would it be best to keep or close the account as will want to get the money next time they offer it.
    How did you muck it up?

    What account did you open at the time? There is an offer on at the moment.
    Paid in the £1500 too late, did it within 60 days of switching  but not within the 60 days of telling them :(
    The Everyday one.
    Thanks for the link, didn't think they would have another so soon.
    Can you have a Everyday & Edge account?

    You can change your account type to Edge and contact Santander by phone or in the branch to start a new switch for the current £175 offer. 
    I phoned up and told I have to switch in branch, when checking the next appointment was in 3 weeks time, so ended up doing it over the phone because of the wait.
