Nice. How long did yours take?

15th applied for the account, 23rd was the switch, so 4 days from the criteria met
Did you pay in the £1,250 on the 23rd the day your switch finished?

The balance transferred in from the switch was above £1,250 so both criteria met on the same day.

Ah my switch is from an empty account. I’ll just send it over the day after my switch ends and leave it in until I get my bribe lol.
If the account is open then there’s no reason to wait until the switch to complete to make the transfer, unless you have DDs to take in the old bank it’s switching from and need the money to debit from.
Day one of the account opening you could transfer in money and wait 24hrs to tick off that criteria if you wanted. After 24hrs you could take it out to wherever it’s kept and then wait for the switch to happen.

Ah I was under the impression I had to do it after my switch ended for some reason.
My thinking was that I had to deposit £1250 the day after the switch date.

When I did them all, I did it before.
Open account and do it right away, get that part of it ticked off.

Got my bribe yesterday. I also transferred in the money the moment the account got opened, way before the switch was confirmed so I don’t think it matters when you do it.
Also I had incorrectly previously said you can’t transfer the money without the card reader. I was incorrect, you do not need the card reader to back out the money.
I’ve seen someone who got Natwest last year, get RBS this year. Anyone got it who did the same bank last year?
Really impressed with NatWest, got the £200 within 24 hours of depositing £1250. Must be a record, or at least up there.

Yep, received mine this morning too, one of the smoother switches I’ve had.
My Lloyds switch happened overnight. No payout yet though
NatWest paid me £200 this morning the day after my minimum balance had been there for 24 hours.

Lloyds one payable ‘within 3 working days’ according to the bot
With the RBS bribe, does anyone know if the £1250 has to be in there for 24 hours over a working day? Or could I pay it in today and remove it tomorrow afternoon?
I’d just pay it in until you get the bribe

Yeah I also transferred in on a Friday and was not sure about this, so didn’t transfer it back till Monday to be sure. Couldn’t find anything online about it.
