Co-Op Bank Free £100

Hi

Just got through my letterbox co-op bank offering £100 to new accounts, however you must deposit £800 a month, and the free £100 I will get at the end of November. Just wondering is it fine me opening an account now, depositing £800 a month (then withdraw the £800) so its a cycle of the same £800 entering the bank, then once I have recieved the free £100 simply closing my account, would this be find to do?

Thanks

    Do you mean this account?

    (Notice the cunning juxtaposition in their graphic - all totally 'ethical' - which is saying you only get interest on the linked savings account at 4.5% - not on the current account - hence the 'plus' I imagine)

    Is there a code to quote on your leaflet since it may be possible to apply over the phone (0800 0287287) and quote that to them?

    Doesn't say anything online, so perhaps it is a one off promotion. I guess it is best to call them and ask them, perhaps share the details online so other MSEs can take advantage :)
