Have Completed All Possible Bank Switches.What Next???


It's been pretty lucrative and as a result, have earned well over £2000 in total.
Have done all banks possible I believe (First Direct, Nationwide, Nat West, TSB, CoOp, Barclays and Lloyds).. NB: Couldn't do Santander as already had an account.
Don't think I'm missing any other possibilities of future banks, bearing in mind banks are groups?
So, looking for another little similar financial adventure.
Any ideas/suggestions please.

Depending on your pension situation, switching SIPP providers can prove to be quite lucrative (providing you are fully aware of the consequences of the decisions involved) I have received 2 cashback payments in the last couple of years of £1,500 and £1,000 respectively for switching providers and am currently looking for a couple of decent ETF's so I can switch a third SIPP to Fidelity for a further £1,000. 👍

RBS and Ulster. Though part of the NatWest group, you can get bonuses from all 3. Halifax (though they haven't had a switching offer in quite a while) which you can get in addition to Lloyds.
You can often get HSBC as well as First Direct. Danske (if you live in NI).
You can try again with some and see if you fall through the cracks. Usually doesn't work but occasionally does.
Otherwise there's next year's Nationwide £100 fairer share bonus (if there is one). Cashback on debit card spends (e.g. Halifax). Cash for x amount of debit card transactions per month (e.g. TSB). Rewards with the likes of Club Lloyds (Halifax’s have now ended).
But there comes a point where you've exhausted all switch offers and you're approaching that point.

I did the same starting in December 2022 well over £1000
I’m surprised you didn’t do Santander, I claimed £200 with a switch despite being a customer for 10 years
it’s a matter of waiting for the time the next switches come around
I have 12 accounts set up waiting
