Hi everyone,
I just wanted to check something about the Barclays switch offer as I’m a bit unsure where I stand.
I opened the account on 12th April through the app and started a switch straight away from a different account that had 2 direct debits set up. On the 13th I paid in £750, then on the 14th I added another £1,250. I moved that money back out on the 17th. The switch completed on the 22nd April, and both direct debits came out the same day.
Since then I haven’t heard anything. I’ve seen some people mention getting a text confirming eligibility, so I called today to check. The person I spoke to said I had met the requirements, but suggested I send another £2,000 into the account and leave it there until I get the eligibility text.
Has anyone else been told this or had to pay in another £2,000 after already doing it? And do I actually need to keep the money in the account until the text comes through?
Appreciate any help, thanks!
