Direct debits donāt need to pay out, just be active at the time of the switch.

Anyone know when the RBS text saying the Ā£200 has been paid in would come, I have had the NatWest incentive two years ago but just trying my luck with RBS.
I got this text this morning but nothing about if I have / havenāt qualified for the switch

I wouldnāt think that any bank would message you if you havenāt qualified for a switch bonus; only if you have.
Bizarrely NatWest text me a day after I had the Ā£200 put into my account.

Might be wrong but Iām sure NatWest group or Lloyds group do let you know that you havenāt qualified
Didnāt get any notification from RBS but the Ā£200 landed in the account not long ago.
Everyone getting the bonus did you add the Ā£1.250?

I added it after the switch was completed.

Do Natwest inform you in any way about a switch? Short of the initial form Iāve heard nothing. Not even sure itās going through!

I havenāt had any information from Natwest which is quite confusing.
RE: the deposit, do we know if the Ā£1,250 has to sit in your account for 24 hours once you have submitted the switch or wait until the switch is completed and then deposit Ā£1,250 for 24 hours?

To be honest itās mostly just because of the uncertainty about where in the process my switch is.
As for terms, well boo to anyone who is snotty. Half of this forum wouldnāt exist if everyone meticulously spent ages reading and researching everything. Just because it can be found doesnāt mean it might not be pretty quick to just ask on here in case anyone knows off the top of their head.
But even reading the terms itās not clear:
āDeposit Ā£1,250 into your account within 60 days of switchingā
Is that switch submission date?
Is that switch completion date?

Either RBS are better at communicating than NatWest or Iāve done something wrong with the switch form - this is why Iām confused!

Also doesnāt need to be Ā£1.250 one go, just needs to total the amount within 60 days of (what looks like based on comments above) requesting the switch.

Paid mine in this morning, switch supposed to complete tomorrow, will see when I get paid out!
Mine was 12 days from starting the account switch/opening to getting the bonus from NatWest. I put Ā£1251 in on a Wednesday evening and took it out on a Friday morning. I got the bonus last year but Iāve moved address and I used a different email this time. Doing RBS next
I wonder how they are tracking if youāve had a claim before or itās just on the goodwill that people wonāt try it on. Could be as simple as a different email address 
Let us know how you get on and if they pay out another Ā£200
There was a post on Reddit yesterday about someone doing all three Ulster/RBS/NatWest at once and getting them all.
Makes me think my Switching days might not be quite over yetā¦
Itās always a risk and not a guarantee. If you want to try thereās evidence people have succeeded who already had the bonus.
The same token thereās people who opened all 3 this year switched accounts into them and took Ā£600.
All depends if the system catches you or clicks on
The bank definitely knows your identity though. Itās a bank. Your identity is checked and even if you move house, or use a different email, the bank 100% knows if youāve been a customer before.
