Co-operative Bank £150 Switch Offer

[Sarah]

Oh dear. I guess you'll need to talk with Co-op Bank again. Good luck!

have done so again today Sarah. 3 calls totalling 1h30m..
the call centre consistently say "that's branch staff for you" whenever you quote them
they've said that i needed to do a further 4 transactions by the end of today.. and having "removed the block", which they said was due to me entering incorrect information, which i haven't, my card has worked on NS&I's site fine just now.

My switch went ahead earlier this week. The first DD went out yesterday - I already had one set up for Plum. I've also switched my TV licence DD online from another bank account to the new Co op account. That should go out around the second of january.

Started the 10 debit card transactions. I've paid £1 to my Octopus energy account and made a debit card deposit to a Yorkshire Building Society savings account I have. Now to do another 8 - most will be to Octopus energy as it's so easy to do.

i thought i was going to have to fight for it, but my £75 arrived today.

[MrsXfile]

My £75 also arrived today

[planteria]

they continually block my card when i use it contactless.. i'm callling them again now to unblock my card. the girls are so disinterested and if you mention the branch they consistently say "huh, that's branch staff for you". awful cs.

my plan is to continually use the card for 15t/m to enter the prize draw, but it's hard work

[planteria]

need to complete 10 transactions following the monthly anniversary of the £75 incentive payment,
so each month i will complete 15t between 21st and 31st to bag both the £25 and enter the prize draw. once I’ve received three £25s can complete 15t any time during the month. the draw runs until November 2025.
