A quick question.... how do the vouchers work?
Do I print out a barcode or do I have to use them online only?
I want sainsbury's voucher but don't spend £50 at a time - can I get 2x£25 vouchers?

Just done mine for Sainsbury's.

Yes you can do 2 x £25 vouchers or 1 x £50 - they show up as a barcode you can print out, save on your phone, or add to Google Wallet.

In store, you scan the barcode at the till as Gift Cards - you don't need to spend them all at once and you get a receipt telling you how much is left to spend.

@refluxer previously mentioned that in 2023, it was possible to split a Santander voucher across multiple retailers. Does this option still exist? For instance, can the voucher be divided between Aldi, Amazon, and Tesco? I’d really appreciate any recent insights or experiences you can share. Thanks in advance!

Yes vouchers can be split but I’m fairly sure choice was either £50 or 2 x £25

Looks like they have pulled the evoucher deal aswell as the 18 month fixed rate ISA

Only the 1 yr @ 4.10% and 2 yr @ 3.85% available

For me the evoucher offer seemed like a scam,I did a postal application on the 16th May after opening an ISA and haven't heard a thing since,but the app keeps sending me notifications to put money into the ISA.

Has your £10,000+ external transfer gone into your new Santander ISA yet?

It's not a scam - postal ISA transfers can typically take around 2-3 weeks to complete and it'll take some extra time to verify that the transfer is eligible for the voucher after it has been credited to the new ISA account.

Have the funds left the sending ISA account yet ?

No the funds are still sat in T212, I would have thought Santander would have at least emailed me to confirm they had received my application and was progressing with the request, I don't even know if they have indeed received the paperwork at this point but I have read a few posts here that Santander are using a wrong email to contact T212 so who knows.

They don't seem to do that. I had a postal application too that I sent on the 15th May and the only notification I got was from the one I was moving from.

I did call Santander to check if they received it (on the following Tuesday) and they told me it was taking on average of 3 working days to process it. True enough on the 4th working day I got notification from moneybox that they had received the transfer request and it was processed the following day. I had the £50 voucher last week too. 

I would call them, it could be your application never arrived or its T212 dragging it out
