  • Mulling over whether to go for this.

    I've never had switch money from Barclays to the best of my knowledge but do have a current account, I do a lot of mystery shops for them so have left/rejoined before, some jobs are non customer, some existing.

    Suppose I have nothing to lose, especially if I close my account then give it a few weeks. Hmmmm 🤔

    What are the benefits to Blue rewards other than Apple TV? Not really fussed other than the bonus money but every little helps and Ive still not seen 'Severence'.

    I've already a customer, but am wondering if my husband can get this offer? We have a joint mortgage and mortgage account with Barclays which is connected to my blue rewards. Anyone know?

    If he's named on a joint account then he isn't new to Barclays, which is one of the pre-requisites for the switch offer.

    Any issues signing up, photo id needed / debit card details needed from old account etc?

    On signing up needed photo ID (used driving licence) had to prance about taking a video of myself. Once done approved straight away.
    With switch debt card was optional, but did use one.

    Don't think this will make you eligible.  :'(

    I have a spare chase account. I have pulled some money from it using 2 separate paypal accounts. Is that good enough? Can I now go for the switch?
  • Am I being stupid? How do I open a new account in the app. I have downloaded the app and the only option it gives me it to register
