Barclays ISA transfer cashback

Section62
Posts: 10,109 Forumite

Can anyone see anything in this offer which requires the balance to be kept in the account for any length of time?
Barclay's rates are rubbish, but if a transfer in can be followed by a near immediate flexible withdrawal out to a better paying instant access account then £100 back for transferring £25k might be worthwhile for some.
The only term I can see which might be used in this situation to avoid a payout is the general 'abuse' term.

This was discussed a little last week in the following thread.
Two cash ISAs with Charter Savings Bank — MoneySavingExpert Forum
It seems the abuse clause is there to try and prevent a quick transfer in and out happening but not sure if they would class a withdrawal from a flexible ISA as abuse. Bit of a grey area.
Offer lasts until 28th November so plenty of time to consider or wait on it.1 -

That said and as you point out could a transfer after 60 days constitute abuse? If not 60 and you wait 70 or 80 days what then?1
