    I have been told via in-app Live Chat that I am eligible for the 10% bonus rate, and further that I will receive the full 12% across the 12 months. I wish I screenshotted it as it seems to have been wiped when I left the chat!
    I no longer check the forums as regularly as I used to. If you wish to catch my attention please remember to tag me (@ircE) so I get a notification.

    So they've not told anyone if they're eligible for the higher rate?
    I tried to get an answer today, they told me my rate is showing as 2.02%. The switching team could confirm i should qualify for the bonus 10% but couldn't confirm when it would show on my account. They did add that there was confirmation going out on the 9th to all who qualify, bit messy.

    I put my money in today and realised I never set up their app. I don't think it matters, but a few bribes have had logging into the app by a certain date as part of the criteria.

    If needed, you can send them a DSAR which should include things like chat logs

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

  • I just communicated with Virgin Money online chat and they have confirmed my current account is now at 12%.

    I messaged Virgin Bank's online chat to confirm the 12% interest rate, but they directed me to contact the switch team for further assistance.

  • Hopefully we will all get this confirmation message on the 9th because there is a lack of information.

    Be nice if a 'you are getting the bonus rate' line was on the account when you look, otherwise you're thinking am I actually getting this or not?

    Will I need to keep my DDs with Virgin after my switch to keep the 12%?
