I received my £175 today. How do I cancel the blue rewards I can’t seem to find out how. Unless it’s me being an idiot. Had a good look round the app to no avail 

Doing it via the website, I was directed to complete a form and send it off but, if you go into the app and click on the Blue Rewards account, there should be a link on there that says "Leave Blue Rewards"

Completed all the switching bonus criteria a few days before the text to confirm I qualify for the £175 switch offer, which arrived last Wednesday. And today (Tuesday, 6 days later) I received the money into my account. Off to TSB next.....

I have a TSB current account, but I also have a Barclays credit card, can I do the switch and receive the £175 or am I not eligible because I am a Barclays customer.

Has anyone worked out how long the £800 needs to stay in the account for? From the T&C it seems like it only needs to be paid in but can then be withdrawn straight away again. Can anyone confirm if that is correct?

That is correct, many people have confirmed this in the thread (and received bonuses!).

Yes, you can switch your TSB current account to Barclays and receive the £175 bonus. The fact that you have a Barclaycard account doesn't matter.

I have since found out I am, so in the process of switching now

Hi

If anyone who has recently held a Barclays account wants encouragement to try for this offer (quite a few have been declined on this thread) can I just point to my success. Just received confirmation today. I did fancy the Apple TV subscription but was reluctant to pay for it but now I have it for free. Huzzah!

Cheers

… I’m a bit concerned, my switch having completed on Friday 9th (two direct debits transferred from my old account), Blue Rewards set up, £825 deposited in new account, did this all through the app … however, I have not (as several other people here appear to have), received the text confirming that £175 is on its way.

One possible issue was that a day or two after setting my account up, the app stopped working (a 00002 error prevented me from accessing it, I was able to resolve this by visiting my local branch who discovered an old savings account from 15 years ago registered to my name with 61p in it!  Significantly, an ancient mobile I once had was linked to the account which confused the app).  The guy at the branch removed the old number and now the app works fine, but it did take me a four days to reach the branch from the day the account was opened.

Is this normal?  

Thanks

It's worth noting that Blue Rewards comes with an Apple TV subscription; you don't need an Apple device, you can watch in a browser. There are a few good shows on there so it's worth checking it out before cancelling. 

I've signed up for this but I'm struggling to locate where I logged in. When I try to log in now it doesn't recognise me. Anyone had a similar experience. I'm using Chrome on my phone.
