Santander is now rewarding customers with a £100 Amazon gift card without requiring them to switch their main current account. Unlike typical cash incentives that demand transferring direct debits and salary payments, this offer simply asks customers to open a Santander account and meet straightforward spending criteria.
According to Money Saving Expert, Santander introduced this promotion shortly after ending a previous £30 voucher offer. The new deal requires customers to open a Santander current account—whether new or existing customers—using a special link, and make 30 debit card transactions within 60 days. These transactions can be everyday expenses such as supermarket shopping, which can be split across multiple visits to help meet the requirement.
Once criteria are fulfilled and the account remains open, customers will receive a link to claim their £100 Amazon voucher starting from February 12, 2026. Note that each person can claim only one voucher and credit checks will be conducted.

Money Saving Expert highlights the Everyday account as the best option for those solely interested in the voucher, as it carries no monthly fees. Other account options include the Edge account, which charges £3 per month but offers 1% cashback up to £10 per month on bills like council tax, water, energy, and broadband when paid via Direct Debit. Additionally, its debit card provides highly competitive exchange rates abroad, making it a valuable companion to your main account.
For customers with larger bills, the Edge Up account may be more suitable, offering up to £15 cashback monthly for a £5 fee. The Edge Explorer account is a packaged option including various insurance services for £17 per month.
Alastair Douglas, CEO of TotallyMoney, explained that this offer is unique because it does not require closing existing accounts or using the Current Account Switch Service. The 30 transaction requirement can include contactless payments, in-store purchases, and online shopping, potentially allowing customers to maintain their usual spending habits but simply use their new Santander debit card.
It’s important to note that this promotion is not available directly through Santander’s website but only via aggregators and comparison sites. Eligible accounts for the offer include the Everyday, Edge, Edge Up, and Edge Explorer accounts.
