    So my question to this forum's members is, since May 2013, has anyone still been able to hold multiple HBOS Reward current accounts?

    Cheers

    I have 3 reward accounts (2 HFX and 1 BOS) and received £15 at the start of this month, 2DD's set up on each - £4 to Tesco Savings and £1 to a Santander e-saver.

    No problems so far anyway.

    AAAAArghhh!!!
    I have 3 sole reward accounts and my OH has 2. I've just checked online and my 3 have all had the £5 reward for June. One of my OH's account has been converted to a current account - although if fulfills the criteria. The lady in Halifax says its because OH is only allowed to have 1 sole reward account.(I clearly didn't tell her I still had my 3).

    Should I take it further or just bail out and cancel the DDs on that one and close it? Thoughts pls.

    Or you could transfer it somewhere and pick up a switching bonus or cashback.

    Whilst we are on the subject, my Online Saver has now expired and so I have no need to transfer money to Halifax.

    Therefore, is this still in the T&Cs?

    BoS 1 -> BoS 2 -> BoS 3 -> Reward -> BoS 1

    All as internal transfers.

    Or does the Reward 1K now need to be from outside the group?

    The reward can be from within Halifax.

    .... after 6 Months should Halifax still be offering 100.00 account opening incentive then ............:)

    They might, they might not. Banks will keep records for many years, even if your accounts were all closed. 6 months sounds a very short time.
