Halifax reward account questions

I have an isa, a mortgage and a cc with Halifax and want to move my current account to them. Can this be a joint account and will I be eligble for the £100 bonus?

Thanks in advance

    Open a sole account first and switch for £100 and £5/month

    Then you can open a joint account the month after by visiting a branch and get another £5/month. You can move your debits and credits over as well if you want, or just setup a SO between the two accounts.

    To qualify for the £100 switching bonus do I have to transfer all my direct debits or is 2 enough? As I get paid into my old bank account do I have to transfer this? I don't mind transferring my pay but will it be fine to do this?

    As I said earlier, read the T&Cs.

    Your question is answered in the very first condition!...
    £100 to switch Terms and Conditions

    1. To qualify for the £100 switching incentive (the "offer") you must successfully apply for a new Halifax Current Account, Halifax Reward Current Account or Halifax Ultimate Reward Current Account and use the Halifax Switching Service/Team to switch your existing current account from another bank. This means transferring all your direct debits and other regular payments, along with all your automated credits from your existing bank to your new Halifax bank account ("your account") with us.
    If you fancy trying to circumvent this condition, be sure to read condition 2 first...
    2. We reserve the right to claim back the offer if you do not complete the switch from your existing current account by transferring all your direct debits and other regular payments, along with your automated credits to your account.
