Top Cash Back Confirmed?

I've just had a payment from a Santander account but I also have a Cahoot account in the pipeline this has been showing confirmed for the past 7 days. Any thoughts on how long it takes to become payable please.

If you click on the specific cashback in the earnings section it will tell you the estimated time period.

Can be a few months.

Yes I've looked at that, it says 12 weeks. The thing is, the Santander pay out I just got went straight to payment from pending? and that has paid out within around 6 weeks or so. All very strange.

My cashback is still showing as Pending for the Cahoot accounts I opened nearly a month ago. Cashback for newly-opened Santander accounts seems to get confirmed a lot quicker, judging by posts on the cashback thread.

I've got a payment (for an HSBC credit card) which has been showing as "Confirmed" for 3 months now. Presumably it will become payable at some point. It says "Estimated payable 13 weeks" which should mean sometime this week or next.

Seven days as confirmed is normal.

For bank switches, confirmed usually sits there for two to six weeks before it becomes payable. Santander often pays faster, Cahoot is slower and commonly takes around 30 to 45 days.

If it stays confirmed past eight weeks, raise a missing cashback ticket, but for now this timing is standard.

I think the clue is in the word 'estimated' - cashback timings are a black art, and just with Santander alone, I've found a huge range of payout speeds with their different products.

I suspect with your latest one, it actually went to confirmed one day and then payable the next - that's a common situation. Truly 'direct to payable' is rare, normally only seen with TCBs own branded things like gift cards, or when an apparent error is getting corrected, like with the recent Cahoot one where we all got it at the same time.

Possibly I spend too much time analysing this stuff

Thanks, I can only think I missed checking one day and it snuck in.
