    Does anyone know how long you need to keep the account for until you can switch again to avoid the bonus being snatched back?

    Thanks

    Nothing stated in the terms and conditions, so you can switch it straight away, if you want.

    I have a Halifax Clarity Credit Card, but no current account (as far as I know, if I did, it would be one when I was very very young).


    Does anyone know if I'll be eligible for this?

    Yes, you would be. You are only excluded if you've previously had a switching bonus (since January 2012), or the account you are switching is an RBS account.

    It's a Bank or Scotland (BOS) account that is excluded. RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland) is fine to switch and get the bonus.

    Yes, it is. Sorry. I knew that, but still wrote the wrong thing. :o

    In December I switched an old bank of scotland reward account to Yorkshire to get the £250 which I have now received. I am now switching the YB B account back to halifax for the £125. I think i will qualify as it has 2 DDs and I am not switching a BOS account. Also the BOS acc had been opened in 2009 i think, but the t&c only make mention of if halifax have paid you the switching reward since 2012. So i think i will qualify for the halifax £125. I have also switched a dud Coop acc to NatWest for their £125. So hopefully i will hit the £500 for switching

    I also have 5 x refferals for anyone wanting the £75 TSB referral, PM me and will send you the link. Make hay and all that

    I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere so i'm hoping that someone may be able to help.

    If i open a new current account eg TSB and then do the switch to Halifax will i still qualify for the switching bonus even though there are no direct debits set up on the account?

    I don't have any spare ones to move around so i can only do this if there need to be none.

    Thanks

    Planning on starting the GC again soon :p
