    Hello, I read on the MSE that the offer has ended. Does anyone know for certain if you can still get the voucher if you applied for an account via the link before the end date, and completed before the end date and you meet the conditions?
    The end of the offer means no one who opens an account after that date will qualify for the voucher. It doesn't have anything to do with the deadline for completing 30 transactions, which is still 60 days after you opened your account. This won't be verified until February.

    My card hasn't arrived yet, but I can see the details in the app.

    Also, could I hypothetically buy 30 lots of £5 amazon gift cards to apply to my account to satisfy the 30 transactions in 60 days criteria?

    my card arrived in 5 days.
    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.

    Unless excluded in the offer T&Cs: yes you can. It might earn you a temporary block though if you repeatedly use the card for the same amount with the same retailer.

    I may stagger this out over a few days and also buy some gift cards for some other retailers just to vary it.
