The switch bonus is £100. The stay bonus is 3 x £25.JohnSwift10 said:I have switched to the Coop bank to get £175 switch bonus.
There is nothing in the T&Cs that say what kind of debit card transactions are and aren't acceptable. However, relying on gambling transactions to fulfil the conditions of a switch offer can be a bit risky.JohnSwift10 said:Does buying Scottish Childrens Lottery tickets online (or any lottery tickets) using my debit card count towards the 10 debit card transactions I need?0 -

In a Sainsburys Local with two checkouts at 1:00pm? Probably not.JohnSwift10 said:

Tesco MegaExtra with 20 checkouts at 8:00pm - no problem.

Much safer.Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

I do that for Nationwide for the fair share qualification, do it when it's quiet like a Friday evening after the gym, I do it at Sainsbury's as they have the machines to print your label for the fruit and veg (though you can do it at the till to avoid the label), find however many tiny carrots you need, weigh and print a label for each, typically 2-4p each, go to checkout, scan, place in bagging area, pay, rinse and repeat. Might take you 2-3 minutes and you can decline the receipts to stop. Only downside is getting the bagging area to recognise you put it down!JohnSwift10 said:
