    Finally got through to Halifax. Turns out they don't like me either.

    So I'm done.

    HSBC £200
    Amex £100
    Clydesdale £250
    NatWest £125

    Total £675
    in just over a year

    Plus I get cash back from various cards and accounts each month.

    Not too shabby.



    Since when have AMEX had a switching offer?

    Not really a switching offer, but you can get at least 20000 membership rewards worth at least £100 by taking out the Amex Preferred Rewards Gold Card.

    I think I'd have waited until it was back up at £125. Then again, they could stop doing incentives altogether, although somehow I doubt it.

    Well, First Direct and Halifax might not like me, but Barclays do. Switching NatWest to Barclays for their £132 offer. :D

    I'm thinking of Halifax- telling myself that I don't really want to try Barclays!
    The last H offer allowed you to switch into an existing account-(which I have) couldn't do it as waiting for NatWest to pay out.
    Hopefully £75 will be increased??

    I really really don't want to hunt for any more DDs. That was a ......... nightmare .... my sanity is just about intact!!

    Have Lloyds ever done one?
    (Ah, but I asked that about NatWest- how wrong was I??!!)
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

    I'm still bitter about Clydedale screwing me over, awful customer service from them. They just dumped me in the end.

    I think the incentives to transfer will stop as banks will realise that few actually stay, only joining for the payout and using minimum services before leaving.
