    Just received mine. They seem to be sending them out in batches this time.

    I am also going to close the Everyday Current Account used for this offer via Sandi. Sometimes I feel like I'm in the movie Groundhog Day!

    I just received the "claim your giftcard" email from VoucherSent this morning, which I've actioned and now waiting for the actual giftcard.

    However, i stupidly closed a raft of Santander accounts earlier this week whilst have a bit of admin clear-out so now waiting to see if they've clogged taht I've already closed the related account or not as part of their final checks!

    They're not going to check again after sending you the claim email. It can take a little time for the GC to arrive, but last time it arrived within an hour.

    EDIT: Today's GC took 1.5 hours to arrive after claiming it.

    I've just received a 2nd one :blush: 

    I only went through the correct opening process once. I went through the same steps as @danny13579 where we both had our initial application declined by Santander, closed an Everyday CA, waited and then applied again, except I messed it up the 2nd time around forgetting to apply via VoucherSent.

    I phoned Santander, fessed up and the retail banker escalated the new account's closure within 2 hours. I then applied again via the link successfully.

    I think somehow the original VoucherSent form (declined CA) has been connected to the closed account, maybe? I have still got the other CA for the £100. I don't know, maybe I should e-mail them, but I've already added it to my Amazon gift card, now £60  B).

    My giftcard code was sent within a minute of me responding to their claim email, so I can't imagine there is any stringent manual final check stage.
