CO-OP Bank Switch

I wanted to make use of the Co-op £175 switch incentive, so I applied for a current account on 10th September and the earliest they could offer me a switch date was 6th October.  I applied for a savings account last week that still isn't showing on online banking, and I also applied for a credit card and am still awaiting the decision.  Has anyone else found Co-op to be painfully slow?  I have made use of other switch incentives over the years, and this is by far the slowest, and most clunky of them all.  Actually considering cancelling the switch and sticking with NatWest.

    Sam 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.
