NatWest £125 switch incentive

Ok, 10th August deadline now over....
Of the two NWest switches I'm involved with - one for for the Mrs - Zanderwoman - and one for the mater - elder matriarch Zanderwoman - one has paid out the £100 bonus on time (just 2 days ago) the other hasn't.
My own switch, back in the earlier offer of £125, paid out on time, but many people got theirs late, some only after complaining.
So, I wonder whether, and when, to suggest Zanderwoman senior should grumble. Maybe I'll leave it a week or so...0 -

Why wait? If they haven't paid on time, then complain now. They have broken the terms of the offer.0 -

Er, because there may be no point, They may pay up in the next few days without a complaint.
I'm not going to go to the hassle of a formal complaint if I don't need to.
And I'm not so much into compensation culture that I want to. Unless it becomes essential.
So I will wait a while.
I was reporting the situation here as that's no trouble to do and it might be useful for others to know that the situation is occurring again (as it did last time round for many).0 -

Suit yourself. I wasn't thinking of compensation, but rather ensuring that they knew there was an issue with your payment. Assuming that it will be sorted in the fullness of time is illogical because they may not even know that there is an issue.
A quick call to alert them shouldn't take long, but as I say, suit yourself.0 -
I can't see anything in the T&C's, (unless I can't see for looking) but is there any time limit on how long you have to keep the account to keep the switching bonus? .
No.
I switched from Nat West to Barclays. Got the switcher cash from NatWest on April 10th and opened the Barclay a/c May8th so think the switch went through about 10 days later.Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

Does this just require a one off deposit of £1500 that can be taken back out again. MSE states that its £1500/month, assuming that's a typo. Also no DD or SO need to be set up on the donor account to be switched?0

Yes it seems to be as you say, ie £1500 as one-off deposit into the account, no DD's or SO's required.
