    So have we decided whether it is possible or not then please?

    The current T+Cs don't allow the opening of more than 1 sole and one joint account.
    Experience of other posters on these boards is that you may very well get away with opening multiple accounts with HBOS and BOS especially if opened online.
    You run the risk of those accounts being closed at any time.

    I have had my BoS a/c closed because I exceeded the number of a/cs one can hold - so no problem in applying, but if it is opened and then closed because of t&c breach then you have a "wasted" search recorded in your credit file.

    Got a notice at work a few days ago that they will soon be cracking down on this and downgrading surplus reward accounts to standard ones....
