Be aware that the NatWest/RBS offer is coming to an end on the 2nd of April
Latest weekly email: Itās Meter Reading Week (moneysavingexpert.com)
Lloyds closes tonight. (Might already be too late?)
Wouldnāt bank on Santander for much longer either. I gather that they generally only run them for a week or so.
With Santander, do I need to wait for the switch to complete before I deposit the Ā£1500?
No, just at any point in time.

Anyone had any luck with FD offer having already opened HSBC? I have never had a HSBC switch offer before. But I did open HSBC accounts in the past two years.
You canāt get the First Direct offer if youāve had a HSBC account since 2018.
Potentially a silly question about the Santander offer. Unlike FD, it doesnāt say that I have to leave Ā£1500 in for any set period of time. So could I for example move Ā£500 in and out three times?
Yes, thatās how these things work.

I think itās all down to chancing.
In the past I received the HSBC offers and opened a FD account and still got the bonus despite it being āprohibitedā
No longer on the website, so Iāll pull it from the table at the top of this thread.

That will be interesting. Iāve initiated the switch (with DDs in place) but currently on holiday and the internet banking details hadnāt arrived before I left so I have no real way of knowing what the status of the account is yet! Havenāt done the transfer yet either because I want to see that the money has actually gone inā¦
Iām in the same boat. Havenāt received card or banking details yet in the post so will not transfer funds until I do so.
The account has actually opened though and I do have switch date confirmed so Iām assuming theyāll honor all processes started before the offer was pulled.

Quick Rant!
I am very pis*ed off with Monzo as they told me that my Switch to Santander has been denied and they havenāt given me a reason or anything.
Now I canāt get the switching money from Santander as Monzo denied the switch for some reason.
I have looked at the Monzo Account and I donāt see anything that could stop me.
I am not overdrawn, I closed my Investment Pot, I moved out all of my savings. I dont know what the hell Monzo is doing and not letting me switch.
I am going into my local Santander Branch tomorrow. To try and sort all of this out and maybe hopefully if i explain to Santander what has happened then maybe I can get the money. Iām not sure thou!
Rant Over!

Yep. A lot of offers and limited edition stuff with Santander donāt last too long.
Donāt know where I got Santander from then 
If monzo have denied the switch, opposed to something just gone wrong, then raising a complaint to Monzo would be the first step.
It could be name, date of birth, address, a minor spelling mistake or wrong date entered.
If thereās actually no error and it was accident, youāre now at financial loss (switching bonus), as well as distress and inconvenience, so it will likely be upheld (no guarantee), unless there is an error as noted above - the data held by Santander not matching monzo.
