Santander given me £25 for?

I took up the October offer of opening a current account to get a £100 Amazon voucher provided I made 30 debit card transactions. I've noticed Santander paid £25 into my account earlier this month but don't remember that being mentioned being as part of the offer

  • I had the same thing and was confused too. The £25 is from Santander’s regular cashback/retailer offer they sometimes run alongside current accounts, not the Amazon voucher promo itself. The £100 Amazon voucher is usually sent separately once all the debit card transactions are confirmed, so the £25 doesn’t replace or reduce that.

    Thanks, never realised that. Nice surprise for christmas 
  • Amazon £100 voucher - I believe I have completed the 30 debit card transactions - thanks to the cheap supermarket Xmas veg offers (one at a time).
    My 60 days runs out on the 5th January. When will I receive confirmation notice of this? Will it be before 5th January?

    You would be better off posting this here (though it can be hard to find given the vagueness of the thread title).

    You won't hear anything until the two weeks beginning 12th February 2026.
