Halifax Reward Account - multiple applications

Lady_K

I do but I have mobility problems, my daughter usually goes to the bank for me she has to take the papers and cheque in for this 2nd one yet does it definitely have to be funded before November 1st? I mean I can get this one funded but its if I open a 3rd one am I too late?

Honestly not sure - maybe post another thread asking that specific question and someone in the know will probably answer. Good luck

noh

If you have online access you can apply now.
You can fund it with an internal transfer as soon as it appears in online banking (which could be immediately after application) no need to wait for any paperwork.

what should i put where it says how are you funding the account? It has an option other but then asks you to state what. There is the option that says transfer bank/building society WHICH IS THE BEST TO PUT i'M APPLYING ONLINE NOW sorry for caps

noh

Transfer Bank/Building Society
Will work ok and is the truth!

I was going to put cash/cheques as thats how I'll first have to fund it but I'll put thetransfer then I just didnt want them to refuse it

I have done it and its showing in my online account as 'Application decision' It does not say reward account it says current account is this normal as I have only just opened it? I don't think it said that before when I opened the 2nd one is it because its out of hours?

I just realised I have a cardcash account could they include this as one of the 3 allowed?

Nope, the account just needs to be opened before November 1st. (Although if you are able to get £1000 in before the end of October, you'll then get your first fivers at the start of November).

The limit of 3 applies to Reward acounts only.
Yes they are normally labeled as "Current Account" for a day or two.
If your application is successful it will change to "Reward Account"

She told me as I was on the phone that it had been accepted when I applied for the 2nd one by phone but its probably because it has to be looked at by a human being before it goes through as I've done it online this time.

Going to suggest to my daughter that she gets a third account too before its too late
