Has Halifax stopped the £5 reward?

I got more than £750 in this month and 2 direct debits in place, the same as usual as every month, but no £5 given ... any idea why?

    For two days I did using the agreed overdraft and paid 1 pound a day so 2 pounds in total... was that the reason for not getting the reward?

    Most probably, yes.

    I bank with Halifax and I get a fiver reward, but I have to pay in £1000 or more....could it be that?
    To have integrity means that you don't agree with everyone you meet, nor do you succumb to pressure to be something that is in direct conflict with your core ethics.

    You need to pay in £750 a month (£1,000 was ages ago), have 2 DDs that pay monthly, and you need to stay in credit all through the month, to get the fiver.
  • Plus the 2 direct debits need to be different. No good having 2 paypal or 2 tesco savings.

    I used to have Tesco Savings and National Lottery, then swapped the National Lottery for another Tesco Savings. Still getting the fivers :) Maybe it makes a difference that they are two different Tesco savings accounts?
