Santander offers £25 Amazon voucher plus £100 to switch

Santander is re-launching its exclusive deal for customers to get a £25 Amazon voucher when they open a Santander Preferred Current Account online via moneysupermarket.com between 8 August to 28 August, and £100 cashback if they switch using Santander's dedicated switching service.

Helen Bierton, Santander's head of current accounts, said: "When we ran this exclusive Amazon offer with moneysupermarket.com in May it was a huge success and proved very popular with customers.

"Customers tell us they like our best buy Preferred Current Account because of the 5 per cent in-credit interest, made even more attractive by the offer of £100 to switch.  On top of that, for a limited period only, they will also get £25 Amazon voucher when they open their account through moneysupermarket.com.  Our hassle-free switching service ensures the process of switching to Santander is easy so, all in all, this makes the whole package very attractive."

Kevin Mountford, head of banking at moneysupermarket.com, said: "If you are considering switching your current account then make sure you select the account which suits your own circumstances. If you are looking for an account paying a good rate of interest then the Santander Preferred Current Account pays 5 per cent in-credit interest on balances up to £2,500 and you also get a free arranged overdraft for the first 12 months when you switch.  This offer will certainly be popular but will only run for a limited period, so you need to be quick to take advantage."
