    Santander have declined mine and my wife's £75 CASHBACK on the stocks and shares ISA within a week. We invested £100 which I thought was what was required. Is there something obvious we've done wrong? 
    Oh, me too.
    Were your investments to new ISAs (as in opened for this offer) or to existing account(s), as mine was?
    New ones.

    I wonder why? I don't know how to ask the question of TCB (or even if it's possible), there's no link or obvious way to start a dialogue.

    Mine too. New ISA.

    Smacks of a bit of false advertising

    Are you appealing?

    Yep. Have put in claims x2. I'm literally looking at the account in my App!! They have however withdrawn the ISA from cashback on TCB, which I don't feel is grounds for moving the goalposts.... Or abandoning the match!!! 
  • I have also had mine declined, after funding and holding the initial £100 since the application. Absolute con!

    My sant ISA got declined by retailer also. I'm guessing they got a lot of £100 accounts and just decided to refuse them all.

    Was a new investment, although existing santander logon (current account)

    Unfortunately, this sort of thing has recently been happening all too often at TCB. They keep hiding behind the retailer allegedly declining the cashback and you never get a proper reason for why the retailer declined. The retailer washes their hands off it by saying the offer was from TCB, not from them. It really, really smells.

    TCB just decides off its own bat to offer money to anyone who deposits £100 in a Santander S&S ISA?

    Seems unlikely.

    I'm guessing that the terms were not published correctly (...and leave the funds for 12 months..... or somesuch) and they've been swamped, so have fallen back on the small print that says (I haven't looked) "we don't have to pay this out if we made a mistake or for some other reason we haven't thought of yet".
