Santander Best Bonuses?

[planteria]

i clicked through to Santander, HSBC and Tesco, in that order, from TCB. only Santander tracked, but that won’t pay out as i was rejected i know they say it can take up to 7 days to track, but on previous form if it doesn’t track straight away they just say there was never any record of the transaction. so we’ll see.

Nice! They didn't pay for my latest switch!

If anyone is considering switching to Santander now, please be aware the Santander Everyday (no fee) account doesn't qualify for their latest revised £175 incentive!

To qualify for the switcher offer you must meet the following eligibility criteria:

• Instruct us to start the switch on or after 14 May 2024 and before the switcher offer is withdrawn (see general term 4).
  Complete a full switch to a new or existing Santander Edge, Edge Up or Private (v2) current account (your ‘Santander account’) using the Current Account Switch Service (CASS). Please be aware that if you give us incorrect information, the switch request will automatically be cancelled. This will mean you won’t meet this eligibility criteria unless you instruct us again with the correct information before the switcher offer is withdrawn (see general term 4).

• Within 60 days of you telling us to start the switch, you’ll need to do these things:
  - Complete the full switch, which includes closure of your external account.
  - Pay at least £1,500 into your Santander account. This can be either by one or more deposits.
  - Have at least two active Direct Debits in place on your Santander account. These Direct Debits must be active at the point we assess your eligibility. (This doesn’t include any Direct Debits set up to fund a savings account you have with Santander,
  cahoot or Cater Allen.)

• Continue to hold your Santander account on the date we make the switcher offer payment.

NB: if you are switching into an existing account rather than opening one this can only be done in branch, not online.
