Crucially:

"You won’t be eligible to earn £180 if you’ve ever received cash from a NatWest, RBS or Ulster Bank switch offer before."

I missed the last Nat West switch offer due to a error with the switch process. I did manage the Ulster and RBS though. Is it worth trying anyway?

You can give it a go, nothing to lose have you.

I still can't believe we got the 3 in 1 earlier this year.

Interesting that they've reverted to 'ever', having recently bought the date forward for the first time (it was previously since 2017, which was before they started offering public switch deals).

I feel like there is going to be less opportunity for switch incentives moving forward.

Yep looking that way. I got ulster and RBS before, but not this one, so gonna give it a shot.

What are the quickest dummy accounts to set up to enable these sorts of switches to work. I tried for a Nationwide basic account as I already had login etc set up with them but it was very un-user friendly and long winded.

Yes, the email received this evening is very misleading as it says " This is especially useful to regular switchers as you usually need to be a new customer and not have had a switch bonus from them before to qualify."!

Typically use cheapdirectdebits.co.uk for the direct debits but needs to be £2 this time...anybody know of a similar website you can simply set them up like on there but for a higher amount? I know there is the savings account option but just found the cheapdd way to be much easier

So have I got this right: if I open a second Chase bank account (literally takes seconds) switch it into my current natwest select account then convert the select account into a reward account I get £180. If I then set up 2 direct debits I will get £1 a month for each. The t and Cs are a bit confusing on the sequence and what is required for the £180 as opposed to the £1

Did you get cashback on your current NatWest account, as that would eliminate anything, anyway?
