Halifax fiver terms & conditions

Got a letter this weekend saying that to get the £5 on the Halifax reward account it must now be your MAIN account, e.g. salary paid in etc. It is NOT my main account, however I DO swipe £1000 in and then out every month to get the £5.
Conditions seem to be:
-Needs to be your 'main account' with £750 in every month.
-Need to be in credit at the end of each month (not overdrawn)
-Need to set up two different direct debits
First point: Would I qualify if I put in £1k a month even though it's not my 'main bank account'?
Last point - two different direct debits. I assume two different bank accounts.. they're not making it easy! Also, I think this is a cheek! What if you don't even have a direct debit going on? I have one for my phone and that's about it!

When I was an idealist I would have also said the above (not saying you're an idealist, don't take any offence!!) - but now, considering the morals of the banks... I don't bat an eyelid!
