Halifax Reward Account - Scottish address holders will be rejected

I think Halifax need to be clearer, if you go online and apply through there website it does not stop the application when you put in a Scottish address and as there website states the applicants should make sure
"

• you are a UK resident
• you are aged 18 or over
• you are an EU national or have permission to stay in the UK for at least 12 months" Scotland is still part of the UK the last time I looked!

If I wasn't getting £5 a month I would close the Halifax reward current account.

I have now transferred all my DDs to my BoS Vantage current account so all my income goes into the Halifax account then I will immediately transfer it to my Vantage account to get my interest and pay my DDs.

I wonder if I will be allowed to keep my Halifax account if I keep the balance at £0?

Pension in at midnight transferred out at 1 min past midnight.

Good job I'm a nightime person.

I tried to open a Halifax ISA which is being advertised as paying one and a half % more than most other banks. When I put in my post code I couldnt get any further. I e'mailed the complaints dept which is based in Stirling! and after lots of excuses they finally told me that the web site is set up to stop the application form if a Scottish post code is inserted. They advised me to apply for a Bank of Scotland ISA even though the interest is much less. Nowhere on the Halifax web site do I see 'These Rates are not available to Scots' Although it does say you must be resident in the UK.
