Santander Refer a Friend

We have received two referree and one referrer emails today - one referree again with the wrong gender, so I wonder if that is the one where we haven't received the referrer (the same as the other three wrongly labelled and missing referrer emails/codes).

So, I am a little confused about someone on here saying switches need to be instigated by 18th May, but elsewhere it seems to indicate that the last date of claim is 18th June. I am wondering exactly when to start the switch from my Tesco accounts, ie after May interest is paid, or chance it until after the June interest is paid at the beginning of the month.
I would be interested to hear what other Tesco peeps are planning:think:

I think you are getting confused, the last day to request referral codes is the 18th May (though can be withdrawn earlier) and switch and claim is the 18th June.

I've got my Tesco switching on the 11th June. I did request the 3rd on my application but made mistake as I thought it was the date to complete not start switch when choosing the date.

Yes you are right. I was getting confused between when to request the referral codes, versus the date to make the switch.

That being said, I worry that if leaving until the beginning of June, the offer might be withdrawn by then.

Mine and Mrs Z-man's Tesco accounts (4 in total) are in the process of switching already - we will lose a month or so in interest (£7 ish for each account) but we didn't want to risk going in too late or risk Santander pulling the incentive (equiv of £100 for each account) offer early.

I know you know what you mean (:)) but for the benefit of others who may not be so clued up, one would halve these losses by putting the cash in a circa 1.5% AER savings account. Conveniently Tesco have one.

Personally we have made 3 switches each so far, but only been 'paid' for 1 each (the second being today for an 8/4 switch).

I'm not going with the Tesco switches just yet, until I confirm multiple cross-firing referrals get paid out. Most of our remaining switches were made from 9/4 to 16/4, so hopefully we won't have long to wait...unless they're only actioning the payouts once per month?
