    The £100 Amazon voucher offer ended 2pm on 5th November.

    Just before this time I clicked on the MSE link and filled in my details and went on to open a current account which is now showing in online banking.

    I also received this email

    Should I have received a second email to say they have seen that I’ve opened an account?

    Or do I just wait for my debit card to turn up and start making 30 purchases?

     


    No that's it. Our next e-mail should be in February I guess looking something like this (my having been here before) ... PS Well done for creeping in  :)

    If by “they” you mean VoucherSent: at this stage, you don’t get any further emails from them. The offer terms give you the details of the next action from them - nothing for several weeks hence.

    If “they” are Santander, you should have received teo or three emails from them telling you about your application status.

    ... and the answer is ... 6 small carrots (very small but whole, no cheating)

    @danny13579 I could only accept your first answer ... which was correct well done ... your prize? a small carrot which I'll have to buy next time I'm in Sainsbury's supermarket with my physical card @friolento :D
    I'm intrigued by how you managed to get a carrot for 1p. The cheapest I've ever managed to get one for is 4p.
    Must be a really tiny carrot. I eagerly await my prize!  ;)

    O no here we go, my carrot is bigger than yours
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    I haven't read all the many pages of posts since initially looking at the first few pages a while back, but is there any doubt that Ebay purchases using the Santander card would count? I avoided buying via Paypal as have read that may not count (I can't confirm this) so I don't think there would any reason the Ebay ones wouldn't count - they are listed as a transaction, purchase - domestic, the same info as my in-store purchases.

    Also I'm still assuming there's no issues for people who also took out the previous Santander £30 Amazon voucher offer - the t&cs don't suggest it would be an issue from what I can see.

    The Terms and Conditions say that online card purchases are covered so that would include any purchases you make on ebay with the Santander card.

    As the T&C's don't exclude people who have taken up the previous £30 offer, Santander wouldn't have any basis for disqualifying anyone on those grounds, so fair to assume that this is not their intention.

    Santander £100 Amazon voucher

    I have now made 31 actual purchases in shops, all bar one with ApplePay, only one with C&P. 4 of the 31 are still in pending status. In addition, I made 2 deposits into the account. So in total, I can see 33 transactions.

    In the app, it says I have 18 transactions. This could be fun if they use their transaction figure when working out my card payments.

    So take screenshots of the daily transactions showing on the app statement as back up.
