Reward Account

Options
Sorry if something like this has been asked before but I'm just after a quick answer.

Basically I was thinking of upgraded my Halifax current account to a reward current account however me and my partner are soon to buy a property and will go for a joint account. I've heard a Halifax reward account is one of the best but is it possible for my personal one and our joint account to both be this reward account?

    If you can pay £750 into both accounts and have 2 DDs setup on both accounts, yes. Your partner could do the same for £15/month of free money.

    Or at least, thats how it used to work...

    Thanks.

    I admit to not looking solely because T&C's contain about 99% useless material.

    Afraid, you are wrong there. T&Cs govern your account and your relationship with a bank 100%, and most certainly override anything anyone on a forum tells you. You are therefore well advised to read the T&Cs.

    Again hands up, and before I dig my hole any deeper, let me explain.

    I didn't mean useless, I just meant some info is irrelevant (nice to know not need to know).

    Anyway thanks for your help everyone!
