TSB £200 switch

[Sarah]

I haven't directly closed a current account in longer than I can remember; even for a straightforward cull, it's just as easy to switch them out!

[planteria]

Switch rather than Close for what benefit though Sarah?

[Sarah]

Not much really, although by switching you can benefit from Current Account Switch Service payment redirection and there's always at least a small chance of receiving an undeserved incentive!

oh i like the optimism

£45 is down to £22.50 on QC and £20 at TCB now.

[planteria]

back up to £30 and £20 now..
"£100 to switch & £60 to stay. T&Cs apply" too... i guess recent bonus recipients are excluded.
if they were still at £45 i would have applied for some accounts via TCB and requested a match if needed. i'm keeping an eye out to see if they notch upwards again.

[planteria]

still £20 on TCB, but gone from QC altogether.

gone from QC altogether

oh when I searched yesterday there were no TSB offers at all. it was coming up with competitors, such as the First Direct offer.
i guess it was unavailable for a short while as they tweaked it.
i was looking with a view to bagging some more accounts, but it’ll more than likely be August by the time I’m back in the hunt now.

[Sarah]

TCB have just declined TSB £31.50 cashback from January.

oh i wonder why
