A&L waiting time before becoming a customer again

All

A&L has recently closed my account in retaliation for my claiming back unfair charges :beer:.

Now I was thinking of reapplying to get the incentive again. :p

Any idea on what is the "cooling off" period before I can reapply and be treated as a new customer again?
Thanks
mr

    They won't take you back. Why should they ? You've just cost them £xxx and now you expect them to provide free banking for you ? :wall:

    I did the introductory offer twice 9(losing a/c in between) only a few months apart - didn't act like a spoilt child reclaiming charges which I had agreed to pay in the first place though...
    I think....

    You have to wait 3 months between the account being closed and opening up anew one if you want the 12% regular saver or the 6.1% current account.

    In many cases I'd hope the bank would use very much stricter criteria.

    Yep, it is 3 months for most people, but I will think the OP will have trouble, as they closed his first account for reclaiming bank charges.
