As I interpret Special Condition b), you can only have a total of 3 Reward accounts, whether joint ones or in your sole name, so nobody can have 6 of them:-

b) Up to two account holders on an “either to
sign” basis only. You can hold a total of three
Halifax Ultimate Reward Current Accounts
and Halifax Reward Current Accounts. For
example, one joint Halifax Ultimate Reward
Current Account and two sole Halifax
Reward Current Accounts.

This condition includes a joint account and two sole-name accounts in the three that you are allowed, so I don't see how anybody could get six Reward accounts.

3 each in sole names.....

That condition only says 'for example'...

I'll only manage 5 though as OH and I already have a joint account. Damn!

did you open 1 or 3 accounts??

and if it means further checks does anyone know if the accounts will be closed? Can I pay £1000 in the account tomorrow if so is that when the £5 gets paid in?

I opened 1 new account (already have CA, HICA and BOS CA) and will open the other two in the next day or two.

AFAIK, the £5 will be paid early next month.

The T&Cs only mention Halifax accounts. Bank of Scotland do a Reward account (can't find their T&Cs though), so it might be possible to get six accounts per person, if you can have three Halifax Reward accounts and three BOS Reward accounts.

IThis may be particularly beneficial at the moment because they're running their "Extras" promotion which gets you a special 12 months 0% on purchases card.

It's based loosely on it, but the "Extras" card is only available in branch or by phone...

I can't see how they could refuse you ... a Bank of Scotland Reward account is not a Halifax Reward account. They have different names and a different set of T&Cs (though seemingly identical!).

Just thinking out loud...if you applied as an existing (in my case with a HICA) Halifax customer but on the BoS site, ie so you could get the new account linked to your online banking straight away, wouldn't it immediately kick you off and onto the Halifax site?

EDIT: I seem to remember another MSE (Dagobert?) has several Halifax & BoS current accounts. Hopefully she'll look in and comment?
