The banks are adding more and more hoops to jump through due to people doing repeated switching. Santander seems to be focussing on dd type, others have requirements for numbers of spends etc.

You were asking about the minimum direct debit amount so the Sky £1 sim would be acceptable.

Sky Mobile aren't on the household direct debts list, so not acceptable for the switch bonus offer.

Are you still missing the point?

Yes, this DD is eligible for cashback on DDs - and for this it doesn't have to be 'lowest'.

No, this DD apparently isn't acceptable for 2 DDs requied for £180 switching bonus that the OP is after.
