Cahoot Savings Account - can I open again?

Hi all,
Last year I opened a Cahoot savings account via Quidco, happily willing to try them as I needed a savings stash. However, they were pretty pitiful and I closed the account 6 weeks later due to bad service.
Freefivers cashback site are offering £15 at the mo to open a savings account with Cahoot so I am willing to give them another go. Their interest rate is not as competitive as IceSave, but I want the cashback this time rather than the savings account...
Given that I applied last April and have since moved address, should I have any probs opening the account?

Is it worth it for £15? Why not go for an account paying better interest, unless you intend to open and close as soon as you get the cashback. Hardly worth the effort. Just my five eggs, fwiw.0

I do have an ICICI account and an IceSave one, this would purely be for the £15, which for a few minutes work, falls under the MSE Mantra 'Free money is free money'... Anything extra to put into the Olympic Challenge (see sig)

Just wondered if my info would still be on file after a year that's all... and whether that would affect me getting the cashback
