    It was a suggestion to check the T&C very carefully, as Santander have a history of trying to wriggle out of what they have promised/advertised.
    See my earlier response to your first assertion that people should have reason to expect not to get the promised vouchers or cashback. There is still no evidence that this ever happened to anyone who was entitled according to the T&Cs, so unless you can furnish proof, may be it would be best if you stopped trying to put off people, particularly since there is no financial cost to any of us. 

    Also, please don’t attempt to confuse the offer discussed in this thread with something entirely unrelated.
    At no point have I, as you suggest, tried to “put people off” taking this offer.

    I simply offered the following advice, quote - “Make sure to check the T&C with a fine-tooth comb.  Santander have history of advertising something is free and then reneging because it’s not specifically mentioned in the small print.”

    I then repeated that - “
    It was a suggestion to check the T&C very carefully, as Santander have a history of trying to wriggle out of what they have promised/advertised.”

    The aim being to make others aware of the tricks Santander use to get out of what they have previously promised.

    If you wish to ignore that and plod on regardless, on your head be it.

    But this thread isn't about a Santander offer. But you can, of course, ignore that point!

    We're well and truly past 31st Jan, but still no Amazon vouchers. Any idea when to expect them?

    I received an earlier one (£30 with their Everyday Current Account, through the same third party, 'VoucherSent') just about 5 weeks after opening, back in November.
