    There are many ways of setting up any required DDs. Switching your main current account isn't necessary if your main objective is to bag a switch incentive.

    If transaction notification is your top priority, stay clear of Santander as they still don't do them.
    Thanks, but I don't understand that thread at all? I will have to make a new regular account and keep mmy most important direct debits in it and then move the others to the reward accounts forever more. So what is this list.
    Likewise, I don't understand what you mean by having to "make a new regular account and keep mmy most important direct debits in it and then move the others to the reward accounts forever more"!

    The point of that other thread is to highlight ways of 'manufacturing' DDs in order to make it easier to set up a secondary dummy account that can be switched in such a way as to qualify for an incentive, while leaving your main account (with its 'proper' DDs) unaffected.
    So I would have manufactured direct debits that merely pay myself back into another account? Didn't realize I could do that, thanks. So I can keep all my real ones in my preferred bank.
    Yes, that's the idea behind that thread.
