This is great info thank you! I may apply later then as my DDs will be set up by then 😄. Wasn’t expecting a date that far out!

How short-lived?  as wanting to switch my TSB account but want to have the switch on or after the 9th July.

Literally like 3 or 4 days, they shut it real fast

It’s really strange how this offer is missing from the Money Saving Expert website. 

I've shared this thread with colleagues here to bring it to their attention

Is there anything stopping me just buying 10x £1 gift cards to hit the 10 transactions for the month? I've applied to the account but contemplating skipping the 5x£15 portion because its too arduous.

Nope. Nothing stopping you do that or anything similar. Plenty of options as described here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6445857/savings-investment-dds-and-debit-card-deposits-an-updated-list/p1

I personally make small payments to partially pay off one of my credit cards, make manual payments to my energy supplier, or make deposits into a savings account I have that allows deposits by debit card. Or the old buying 10 individual carrots trick at the self-serve checkout if you get desperate.

Excellent, thanks for that. I'll mix in a few T212 and Monzo transactions to keep them on their toes.
