It’s worth doing while the opportunity is there.

The Starling is a burner account - just opened so I can switch it to the bank offering the bonus. I stuck £200 in it.
That is now getting switched to Nat West. I have to deposit £1250 in that, leave it in for a couple of days, then withdraw it. Log on to their app a few times and then they credit the £200 within 7 days. Don’t even need any direct debits for this one.
Once I get my £200, I’ll open a Lloyds account and switch the Nat West one, get £175 for that though they need 2 active direct debits. Again, once I get the £175 I’ll open another account with whoever is offering a switch bonus.
These offers are available for a fixed time then wihdrawn so you have to keep an eye on things.
I had a monzo account which i didnt use so have just done this. Will wait and see if the £200 materialises! |

You have to use the Natwest Current Account Switch Service, close your current account and move all your payments to the new Natwest account to be eligible for the £200 bonus. |

Switch should be done end of this week. Then I need to transfer £1250 in, wait 7 days, get the £200 bonus. Take out the £1450 and switch to Lloyds.

From what I understand you just need to transfer £1250 in - doesn’t need to be all at once. You need to use the mobile app a couple of times and that’s it. I’ll leave my £1250 in until I get the bonus then transfer it out again. Checked and my date for transfer is Monday. Weird they don’t want any direct debits transferred but hey ho. Lloyds need 2.

Yes Tans, and you could also just transfer in and out the same £130, ten times as this will count on the balance sheet as ''x transferred in''. Plus it looks like you've used the account more. Ideal for those who haven't got c£1.5k of disposable rolling around {you bloody flush southerners  } but still want to make use of the offer and claim the switching moolah  Hope that helps anyone who was thinking they could potentially miss out. Tbh, you could even do it with just a quid going between accounts...although I'm sure people will have felt they earned their dollar after a thousand plus transfers in  |
