RE: Barclays Is Offering Up to £600 to Switch Bank — But Can You Actually Get It?

"Up to £600" sounds good until you read the fine print and see you need to be a Premier customer earning £5k a month. That's not a switching incentive, that's a wealth management pitch.

The usual £300 offer is more realistic but lets be honest, asking for £2k in salary AND 10 card transactions a month for five months is pretty much asking you to put your life on hold for an extra £150.

If you’re already banking with Barclays then yes, go get the £150 for the switch. But if you are just doing this for the cash, there are way easier offers out there that don't require a monthly chore list.

Read the terms. Always read the terms. 📝💸
