NatWest £180 Switch offer from 22/10/24

So the direct debits have to be at least £2? I'd missed that somehow

Hi looking for some advice as this is my first time doing this. I have two current accounts, one which was from when I joined university and is empty, with no direct debits etc. and then the other which I basically use everyday. Would I still be eligible for the rewards if I switched the non-used account?
 

Many thanks in advance.

Yes, as long as you follow their terms.

They do, but as the rewards are £2 each for the first two DDs, and the DDs are not a requirement of the switch itself, it’s not actually worth it.

Nice bonus if you have genuine DDs on the account already, otherwise it’s a wash.

Another question, will a newly setup direct debit switch over? The first payment won't leave my bank till November, I gave my details only two days ago, new vet for my cat. Also what about DD that aren't due till a warranty ends say set up but not due for 3 months?

There's a long and complicated answer but the simple one is that all active DDs, new and old, will continue to be active after the switch.

RBS switch offer on the horizon anytime soon?

Just trying to switch a new Chase account that I have just opened (an additional Chase current account - not a completely new customer to chase) and the Nat West form is telling me that I've either entered details from a Nat West account (which I haven't) or I have entered an 'invalid sort code for switching' (sort code correct).

Are Nat West not accepting Chase accounts? Or do I need to leave the Chase account for a while for it to appear an active account? Anyone had this issue?

I also had this issue when trying to start a switch yesterday. I'm not eligible for this offer but thought I'd give it a try anyway since Chase accounts are easy to open. Unsure if it's a temporary problem, as I've definitely switched a Chase account to NatWest in the past.
