A&L £100 incentive - Eligibility

I recently opened a new premier account with A&L for £100 cashback


Have just received a letter asking me to confirm which paymets I want trasnferring. Now I have 1 SO set up which is for my £5 halifax reward payment, I don't want this transferred to A&L for obvious reasons but if I don't will these mean I am not eligible for £100 cashback as I have not trasnferred ALL my DDs and SOs?

Also there is a page in my pack with my bill payments.. I don't need these switched over. is that ok?

tried phoning a&l but been on hold for ages

    You need to use what A&L call their "premium switching service" (basically automated switching of DDs and SOs) to be eligible for the £100. I'm not certain but I'd imagine that as long as you transferred some of these over using this service you will still be eligible. You also need to use this serivce within 15 weeks of opening the account I think. I used their switching service and got my £100 promptly.

    I got through eventually and the lady said I would still get the £100 even if I didn't switch that SO, but did do the rest of my DDs. All done now and they have matched my £1000 OD with halifax which is interest free now for 12 months. Yay
