    My wife wants a new hoover so need to get another £200 out of them as we each have 4 codes left.

    We are thinking of opening new Santander Everyday bank accounts to transfer into our Joint 123 account.

    Has anyone both done this and received the Amazon e-vouchers?

    Second giftcard received just now for me and Mrs Anon as referee but not referrer yet - claim submitted 1/4.

    Oddly the subject is my name but email says "Dear Mrs Anon", and hers has her name in the subject but says "Dear Mr Anon" ��.

    You can't transfer a Santander account to Santander - it needs to be an external account.

    Aah yes thanks it's actually on the main page in a big font!

    Ok we will waste the time of another bank.

    If you log in to your Amazon account there's an option in 'my account' to redeem gift vouchers.
    Then you enter the voucher numbers and they get added to your gift card balance without actually redeeming them.
    Then when you buy something it's deducted from your gift card balance.

    If I add it to my account then it is redeemed, I cannot then give the code to someone else to use on their account.
    Some retailers let you check the value and expiry of the code without allocating it to an account.

    Once the code is added to your gift card, you have redeemed the voucher. It cannot then be added to somebody else's gift card.

    Third code received as referee (I think this claim was Tuesday 9/4 if they are processing in order) - again an error with my name in the subject and Dear Mrs Anon in the body of the message. I am 99% sure I entered the details correctly when I claimed.

    They incorrectly addressed me Mrs too. All sounds very hand cranked on their side

    It is not that much of an issue when it is just me and Mrs Anon, however, if I had wanted to refer someone on a forum anonymously (yes I know, how is that a friend :D, but some of us do sometime share opportunities with online friends on here :A), then technically this is a potential data breach - as you are not the intended recipient stated in the email?

    I received 5 vouchers today, so far.

    One I can't match for certain yet. If it's for 25/03 claim I've got upto & inc 29/03 ... All my other claims are April dated...

    ...less one bounced from alleged claim 01/03. AFAIK no decline notification to switcher and for sure none to referrer.

    All vouchers to my outlook email went to 'junk' again.
