Santander offers customers £210 for completing simple task | Personal Finance | Finance
Santander Bank is currently offering customers £210 if they complete one simple task. The high street bank is offering a £30 Amazon voucher and £180 cash to new customers.
MoneySavingExpert (MSE) said: “Free £210 to switch to top (joint) bills bank account. Santander Edge currently gives newbies switching to it £180 cash, plus – just launched – via our link you now get a £30 Amazon voucher on top.” It added: “A strong pick if you want upfront cash and ongoing bills cashback – especially for households.” For a £3 monthly fee, customers can get 1% cashback on bills paid by Direct Debit up to £10 a month.
To get the £180 bonus customers should open an account online or in branch and, within 60 days, switch in an account, pay in £1,500 and have two or more direct debit set up. If this is successfully completed, the £180 should be paid within 60-90 days.
For customers to get the £30 Amazon voucher, customers won’t even need to switch. They should just open an account via MSE’s link, spend at least five times on the debit card within 30 days and will then need to claim the voucher within 30 days via email. Customers can’t have had a Santander voucher in the last year.
Other top offers include First Direct’s switch bonuses, offering customers a free £200, 7% saver, fee-free overseas spending and £250 interest-free overdraft for many.
MSE names this offer a “clear winner” if customers are looking for excellent customer service, with its 92% customer rating, topping almost every poll MSE has ever done
The bank is also ideal for those searching for an interest-free overdraft.
To get the £200 bonus, new customers should open an account via the app, or online in case of a joint account, and, within 45 days, switch in an account with two or more Direct Debits or standing orders.
Within this time frame, customers should also have paid in over £1000, have made five or more debit card payments and have paid £200 by the 20th of the following month.
Barclays Bank are also offering a whopping £200 bonus to those who switch account – but customers hoping to secure this offer must apply by 28 May. This can be done by opening a sole account via Barclays’ app – joint accounts do not apply. Customers must also switch in an account with two or more Direct Debits by the given date, pay in at least £2000 within 30 days and have £200 then paid within 45 working days.
