has anyone received the £10 Amazon gift voucher yet for opening a Santander savings account? I think after 24 March was when it said they’d be sent out.

The deal where you had to fund with £100?

No.

Not yet, I checked the original email and it said "If you haven’t received your email by 7th April…" so hopefully in the next week or two.

Is it about Santander EA via TCB? I funded it with £100 for a month (30 Dec - 1 Feb). Didn't get a promised £10 Amazon voucher yet.

The HSBC offer now looks even better as they have increased the rate on the 13 month Fixed ISA from 4.0% to 4.5%. Already market leading even before any cashback.

II applied at 4%, but haven't funded it yet because they only got the transfer formtoday. I suppose I'm stuck on 4%?

Thanks, that is a good rate!

Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to switch to their current account in time as I'm still waiting for 2 bonuses from switches completed recently.

Edit: Actually I'm not eligible anyway as I held a FD account as at 01 Jan 2025.

This isn't tied to any switch offer, so you could just open a brand new current account (without switching) to take advantage of the ISA rate. The only limitation re linked accounts i,e. FirstDirect is that the ISA money can't come from there. I'm pondering doing this but locking away £20k for 13 months, so after ISA season at the end of 26/27, is something I'm not all that keen on. The rate of 4.5% plus £150 is very tempting though!
