    I have the High Interest Current Account with Halifax, does this mean that it will be changed soon?

    Not sure I'll ever have to pay it but seeing as I've now got 3 Reward accounts I'm sure as hell going to enjoy my free £15 a month. ;)

    I can't remember the maximum number of accounts you can hold. Is it 3 or 4?

    Did they ask you for your PIN or just some security questions? (like, DOB, mother's maiden name, etc)

    I use my overdraft very rarely, so paying a few quid for the privilege of an overdraft is fine by me. ;)

    Haha just used the callback

    Got asked for my PIN, gave it a go, no dice but he said he could ask me some other questions

    Both switched over now

    Tried to give me some spiel about the Ultimate Reward account but politely declined saying I work for a diff. bank and get their packaged account free.

    'Andrew' didn't tell me anything about the account so I presume my debit cards + cheque books will be remaining the same?

    Instant decisions?

    Yes. I already had a High Interest Joint Account so I just added to it.

    I have to keep £100 in the account for next several days before they send cheque book etc.
