Halifax reward current account

RoxRoxBling

Does anybody have the Halifax reward current account, the one that pays £5 if you pay in £1000??

Is it that simple?? Does the £1000 have to be from your salary or can a bit be from your savings to make up the diference??

TIA :money:

I have one, I don't earn £1000 so I transfer the difference from another account and get the £5.00 every month :shhh:I then put the money transferred back into the original account :shhh:

Yes, it is that simple It doesn't matter where the £1000 comes from or how it's made up, as long as you have £1000 go into the account over the month you will get your £5.
It doesn't have to be in a lump of £1000 either, if you have £100 (for example) in another account you can transfer it into the reward acct, transfer it immediately out then back in again, do this a total of 10 times and you're done.

What we do is, hubby transfers me £1000 into my 1st reward acct, I then transfer it into my 2nd acct, then immediately into my 3rd then back to him. The money is only in there seconds, so long as you have had £1000 go in in total you will get the £5.

I have my £1,000 from 3 separate sources with two always at least 5 days apart and it works fine for me.

Oh wow!! I'm assuming I can open the account online! Do they like do a credit check at all? Or refuse to open the account if you have a low credit score?!

I'm doing the application.. and why do I have to give such detailed account of my employment??

It's a full current account, so a full credit check will be performed, hence the detailed questions
