Halifax £5 monthly reward

Can anyone tell me, when does Halifax typically credit your account with the £5 reward, assuming you paid £1000 in during that calendar month?

    It usually goes into mine like on the 2nd of the month. Not there yet for me but it is too early.

    Think you've missed the boat this month, you could try but I think it will show with Monday's date. Got nagging outlook calender messages to remind me on the 1st of the month to do the move arounds

    I agree it's been missed for March. Even if it is dated today rather than Monday, it is clearly April. I'm sure Halifax works on calendar months.

    Definitely missed it. Any transfers now are dated for the 2 April.

    However, transfers made yesterday 31st March will also be dated 2nd April. Unless they're looking at exact timestamps of transactions within the weekend, they can either cut some slack, or they can fend off complaints from people who think a payment on Saturday 31st should qualify.

  • I normally get my £5 pay out on the second day of the month. Normally get mine come through around the 2nd.

    I just bounce 1K through when I notice I've been paid. £1000 in, £1005 out :)
