» Santander: some Direct Debits deemed ineligible for switch incentives

Other banks are less restrictive in this respect, but generally creating new DDs, if needed, isn't a problem.

» A regularly updated list of accounts that allow direct debit and/or debit card deposits

As a side note, the DDs can be set after switching - Santander: FREE '£225' + 1% bills cashback

And in this MSE article there is some list of acceptable "active household Direct Debits"

Above is a list of the currently available switching incentives. You need to read the T&C's for each offer to check if you are eligible or not.

For Santander specifically, the donor account needs 2x "household direct debits". It's unlikely the ones you specify will qualify, but there is a list on the Santander website you can check against. Also make sure to apply via the MSE link to get an additional £25 Amazon voucher on top of the £200 switch incentive.

You only need 2 active DD to qualify for the switch incentive.

.You won't receive any cashback for the 2 DD that you currently hold

It looks as if I am not eligible either. For some reason, Outfox the market is not on the list, nor is the TV licence. The only one I have is from Vodafone. My phone is not paid by DD either, but by charging my card monthly.
