I've been trying to open the Santander Easy Access Saver via TopCashBack and I can't get past the redirect screen. Using Firefox. Anyone had any success?

It's a disaster, like I have found in the past with Santander. I've now tried mobile and desktop, using Safari, Chrome, Firefox - all just hang on the redirect page or give me 'server can't be found errors'. Have cleared my cache, restarted, the whole 9 yards, and nothing.

Some of the Santander products redirect ok, just not these new ones.

Easy Access Saver

Just tried using Topcashback app, got through to Santander application form via Amazon Gift Card registration. 

I've already got one of these accounts, am I allowed a second?

Only one way to find out!

I still can't get the Amazon form to work, I get the same 'Something Went Wrong' message once I've tried to complete the details and click through to Santander. Had this issue when collecting the £20 TCB for opening the everyday current account. So I've given up on that.

That said, I have now managed to get £25 TCB to track for both the Simple Saver and the Limited Access Saver, by clicking one of the other Santander account links that does work, and then navigating back to the savings accounts I want to open. Not going to bother funding them more than £1, but lets see if the cashback confirms...

I think you need to fund £100 for the  cashback

Indeed!

Now open, added to my other accounts online, funded w/ a tenner.

...and it's tracked at TCB, showing w/ £25 cashback.

Is that £100 needed for the £25 cashback or for the £10 Amazon Gift Card or both (although bit daft not to just fund with £100 for January regardless).

No, you only need the £100 for the Amazon Voucher, there is nothing in the TCB T&Cs to say that you need a minimum balance for their own cashback.

I opened the simple saver yesterday with a zero balance (I am new to santander so can't log in yet). It has tracked on TCB, but showing £0 next to it.

Tried opening a limited access saver today (using various browsers), and I'm having the same issues that others are. Can't get past the first page.

Look at my post from 6:16pm, I found a workaround as long as you're not bothered about the £10 amazon voucher.

I requested closure of Edge Saver and Easy Access Saver via Sandi today to reduce the risk. The Easy Saver I didn't need anyway and the Edge Saver will have the nice effect that it's renewed should it be withdrawn before x-mas and after BOE meeting. Just waiting for both to disapear in the app before applying for both again via TCB. If all working a nice £50 TCB cashback plus £20 Amazon. 

On another note, I applied for the Cahoot Simple Saver (didn't have one) and that is still showing as confirmed in TCB. I do have the Sunny Day Saver. Would I get £25 for opening a new Sunny Day Saver or will that be seen as breaking the T&C's as you can technically only have one?

It's showing as tracked on TCB, just that there's a £0 next to it. I did manage to fully open the account though, just waiting for login details.

Have now managed to open limited access saver, but applying through TCB app rather than browser. No issue at all. Took me straight to the account I want (after doing the Amazon voucher)

Not fussed about the amazon voucher, but i would like TCB to be showing £25 next to the account it tracked yesterday.
