Is switching bank/s for the cash bonus/es worth the effort?

I got my First Direct payment of £175. Thanks for all the advice.
Now for the NatWest £150 bonus, hopefully.
According to MSE the criteria is;- Open a new NatWest Reward account (or already have one).
- Switch in a non-NatWest, RBS or Ulster Bank account online or via the mobile app.
- Pay in £1,250+ & log in to mobile banking within 60 days.
- The £150 is paid within 30 days of meeting the above criteria.Has anyone here taken advantage of this one? And if so, is the above correct?

You should check these yourself to ensure nobody here advises you incorrectly by mistakeSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

If £300-£350 is a big vet bill for you, definitely consider insurance or putting aside money, even a small animal like a cat you can get into the thousands for scans and x-rays, hundreds for blood tests etcgoatfaced said:
Congratulations 😁 definitely worth doing. I had a big vet bill last month and 2 bank bribes covered it 😁mp203 said:I got my First Direct payment of £175. Thanks for all the advice.

Thank you. It's a rabbit, and we've never had costs that outweigh the cost of insurance before so it's been unexpected. I will look into it.1

The last time I took my cat to the vets it cost £90 and to be told my cat was a diva and referred me to a website. Thankfully part of my last switch paid for it.2
