Applying Halifax Debit cash back card

Hi there,

I am thinking of apply halifax 1% cash back card. Here are some question before I fill the form.

1) I just applied a nationwide debit card and flexi account for oversea use a week ago, will this affect the likehood of being accepted on halifax?

2) By earning that 1% cash back, I will need to put 1000 pounds into my halifax account every month, and I got paid only 900 per months.

Is it possible for me to earn the cash back by set a standing order from my HSBC higher interest account to halifax and then set another standing order [10day later]to transfer the money back to HSBC?

Thanks in advance

    Possibly, yes but very slightly.
