Another observation, i have tried to increas my O/D online from the £100 given. Just trying...dont really need it but the response was: my account is a specialist account hence i have to call some 08457 number.
Anyone know what this means?

Try the call back route, they will put you through, I use it every time.

okay question to confirm something

say I have current account with natwest and I open the reward account with halifax

in order to get the reward I set up a standing order of £1000 from natwest to halifax on the say 10th every month

then set up a standing of £1000 from halifax back to natwest on the 11th every month

will that give me the £5 bonus?

Yes that will work fine. I would advise that you keep a small balance of at least £1 in the Halifax Reward Account though.

wow that's too kind of them

i think they will stop offering this reward as a lot of people try to grab free cash

No ..... it will give you a problem. SOs don't work at weekends / Bank Holidays. So when the 10th / 11th fall around / into a weekend you could finish trying to transfer money out of Halifax - that hasn't yet arrived!

You either have to do the transfers manually ('bill payment' which is akin to a SO ... but you have to initiate each one) or give more distance between the SOs?

I've left 4 days between my SO in and out so even if there's bank holiday there is enough time.

Only if the 'in' is via FP.

It won't even work over a normal weekend (where the 'in' date is the Sat) otherwise? The 'out' would be Tuesday ..... but the 'in' (leaving early hours of Mon) wouldn't arrive until at least Wednesday.
