Get paid in 4 steps

Follow these in order. Skipping a step is the #1 reason rewards don't track.

Step 1: Open a Barclays Bank Account via the app

Step 1 of 4 — the sooner you complete it, the faster your reward tracks.

Step 2: Switch via CASS with 2+ Direct Debits

Everyday spending counts — groceries, fuel, subscriptions. Refunds and gambling transactions don't.

Step 3: Pay in £2,000 within 30 days

Step 3 of 4 — the sooner you complete it, the faster your reward tracks.

Step 4: Bonus paid within 28 working days

You'll need a photo ID (passport or driving licence) and a selfie. Usually approved in under 5 minutes.

Insider tips

  • Complete the whole flow in one sitting — leaving it half-done is the top reason £200 bonuses fail to track.
  • Take screenshots of each step in case you need to raise a support ticket later.
  • Add a calendar reminder for the qualifying deadline so you don't miss it.
