Santander Preferred Account cashback questions

I am looking at applying for a Santander Preferred Account for the cashback and 5% interest up to £2500.

I have a few questions:

1. If I have a part-time job, am I able to list myself as 'Employed'?

2. The application form asks whether or not I am currently a Santander customer. I have savings accounts with them, but I have never held a current account. The wording is as follows:
I am an existing Santander customer and I live in the UK
I am not an existing Santander customer and I live in the UK
If I choose the first option, will that affect my eligibility for cashback? On the main site it is listed as an offer for anyone who does not hold a current account with them.

    You are not eligible for this offer if you currently hold, or have held in the past three months, any Santander UK current accounts.

    Is what the cashback t&c's say.
