    Santander append 'Switcher' to accounts when you've had a switch bonus. Since you've already had one, you wouldn't get another (even if you were to switch in from outside).


    The OP hasn’t said that they have already received a switch bonus from Santander.
    They don't need to, it's implicit. See the title of the thread.
    Obviously they would need to switch in from another bank, but you said that they had already received a switch bonus, which you wouldn’t know.

    ... but I do - because their existing account has the 'SWITCHER' word appended to it ;)

    They might not have stated it, they might not even remember it, but the only reason that word is there is because they have previously received a switching incentive.

    Apologies, I wasn’t aware of that.

    Just opened a separate Edge account which then allowed me to open the Edge saver. Happy days !
    Over £2K made from bank switches and P2P incentives since 2016 :beer:

    Maybe they got their switch bonus prior to September 2021, in which case they are eligible for another one with this offer.

    They didn't offer switch bonuses before that date. Alliance & Leicester regularly did but they all stopped after the takeover.

    They did other things like cashback and refer-a-friend schemes, but to my knowledge none of these have resulted in the 'SWITCHER' suffix being added.
