Multiple £100 Bonuses?

Hi peeps.

So I've just received my Halifax card/account/£100 bonus. Which was nice.

Now I have just had a look around this site and seen that Santander have basically the same £100 bonus to new customers.

Would I be able to get this £100 bonus? I imagine I would tell them my main account is my RBS one, which are the details I gave to Halifax.

I read around and saw that you can have multiple current accounts but the only thing that worries me is that both Santander and Halifax want you to "switch"...which implies having only one 'main' current account. But I don't know.

Does anyone know if its possible to get the £100 bonus from both Santander and Halifax? Anyone done it? An extra £100 is always nice but if it's not possible I won't mind. It seems a bit cheeky tbh.

    If you can switch the appropriate DDs/SOs, then yes, its possible. No need to switch your salary, just fund the account.
  • Hmm I'll see. Might as well apply, least they could do is say no.

    RBS might start to get a bit miffed if you make a habit of this.

    I keep 3 or 4 spare current accounts for this reason, never switching an account more than once a year or so.
