If you had 3 Halifax accounts, could you credit then debit the others, and quailfy for 3 x £5.
eg HSBC to halifax 1, then 2, then 3

or do you have to use a 2nd party account each time, going from HSBC to halifax 1 to HSBC, then halifax 2, etc

Also online, just applied and it calls the account Halifax current account, doesnt mention the word reward. Is this normal?

It's a long thread, but you'd benefit from reading it.

Would like to know the first question myself, so don't know. But for second question, yes, mine is called current account too.

There's some speculation earlier in the thread (just a page or two further back), but since the account was only launched yesterday, and the first "reward" payment isn't due to be paid until the first working day in March, and because the T&C's aren't explicit, no-one here can provide a definitive answer.

phone up and select the option for existing / servicing and you can redesignate your account your sort code and account number stays the same you will get issued with a new card but you can use your existing one until then

Can anyone verify this?

does anyone know why it's taking so long to officially open the accounts, it looks like most people had luck straight away when they did it on sun morning, but as the day progressed, people got given an account number and sort code, but the account is pending. i opened 3 last night and assumed they would be fully opened today, but they haven't been. when i called last night the man was arsey and said the dept. was shut and to call back between 8 and 8 on monday which i didn't do.

I suspect opening multiple accounts online triggers a warning flag that requires a manual authorisation, hence slowing down the process.
