Really good offer. I only switched accounts due to the cashback offer. Account switching easy and no problems at all. My cashback from GMTV validated really quickly, and I received the �100 from Alliance & Leicester after only 1 month, even though it said you could wait up to 3 months.

This is a good offer and will be switching to this bank and informing family and friends

I did not take this offer because I am already an account holder, but I would reccoment Alliance & Leicester anyway. I have been with them 15+ years and have never had a problem with them. They are very proffesional and easy to deal with!

Its takes about 6 weeks in all for everything to be switched over, only thing i'd recommend is that if you're on any 0% deals on a credit card send a cheque or make a seperate online payment to them to ensure they receive the payment on time (so you don't lose your promotional rate. I received my �100 about 8 weeks after I'd started the whole process but still waiting for my �25.00 from sun cashback but it does warn me that it takes several weeks for this to be given to me. Overall i found the switching service very useful but decided to call round all the companies that I had direct debits with to make sure the payments were going out of the new account so that I never missed any payments!

I open the account last october and switched my standing orders over.I cancelled the standing order at the end of december as i didnt need it anymore and am now being told i dont get the �100. Says no where on terms and conditions you have to keep dds or standing orders for any length of time.what are you meant to do keep paying for things you dont have to.Made a million ane one phonecalls about it and still getting no where.
