"Thanks for following up" vs "Thanks for following this up"

The correct phrase would be "Thanks for following up."

Last Updated: September 07, 2022

Thanks for following up

This is correct

The phrase "Thanks for following up" is another way of saying "Thank you for contacting me again" or "Thanks for pursuing that matter further."

Some examples from our editors:

  • Thanks for following up on that report
  • Thanks for following up with me about the project
  • Thanks for following up with the customer
  • Thanks for following up on the issue
  • Thanks for following up each day
  • Thanks for following up last week

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • Thank you for following up
  • Thank you for your follow-up
  • Thanks for the follow-up
  • Thank you for staying on top of this
  • Thank you for keeping me updated
  • Thank you for checking in

Thanks for following this up

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

It would be more common to say "following up on this." To follow something up (not to follow up on something) often means to provide something additional, as in, "After cooking an amazing meal, he followed it up with a delicious dessert."
