Yep, got the £100 before I left the branch.
It'd be worth giving them a ring if it's been longer than a week.0 -
Anyone get their £100 that were promised it by Monday. When I rang I was told it would be in by Monday and its still not there yet. Also my cheque book that I ordered in branch 2 weeks ago has still not arrived yet my partners arrived last week. Really not a great start for Halifax!!0

Do the 2 DD's have to be to different recipients? I've got one savings account that accepts DD's, just wondering if I'll have to open another.0

I was in same position, but have a Paypal account so just fund £1/month via a DD from my Halifax Reward. Once it shows up in your PayPal after a few days you can always FastPay it on.0 -
I am with Halifax so I cannot get the £100 I don't think? I don't bank with them but having a small savings account. Does anyone know?0

I eventually got mine after a 6 week wait and £36 extra for the inconvenience and the 4 phone calls I had to make. First few times I rang the switching team and they were !!!!!!! useless. Last time I just rang customer services and the money was in my account in less than 24 hours.0
