Has anyone who already have more than one reward account, tried this switching offer without jeopardizing your current account.

Info on people who have a direct experience will be very much appreciated.

Thanks

No one will know yet. The t+cs changed from the 21st it takes seven days for a switch to complete.
I am going to go for it today. I have three reward accounts and a current account with Halifax. I will switch an unused CoOp account to the Halifax current account.

It's not a case of what is in the T+Cs more of a case of what isn't.
Prior to the 21st of July, in order to receive the £100 switching bonus, it was a requirement that at least 2 DDs were switched. Now there is no such requirement
I will post a link when I get home.

Then click on "More information about the £100 switching offer"

Here is the full text of the offer terms:-

More information about the £100 switching offer
To qualify for the £100 switching offer ("the offer") you must use the 'Current Account Switch Service' and meet the following conditions:

• Use the 'Current Account Switch Service', to switch into a new or existing Halifax Current Account, Reward Current Account or Ultimate Reward Current Account ("your account").
• Use the 'Current Account Switch Service' to transfer all the active credits and debits from the bank account that you hold with another bank and close this account.

You are not eligible for this offer if you have received £100 for switching to a Halifax bank account at any point since January 2012.
Customers switching a Bank of Scotland bank account to Halifax are not eligible for the offer.
What else you need to know
1. The offer applies to applications received in branch, online or by phone from 21 July 2014. The offer is subject to change and can be withdrawn without notice at any time.
2. If your account has an overdraft you will not pay any daily overdraft fees for 6 months provided you stay within your planned overdraft limit; if you exceed your planned overdraft limit, then unplanned overdraft fees will still apply.

From the T&Cs:

Customers switching a Bank of Scotland bank account to Halifax are not eligible for the offer.

Confused - (Whos who): Can I switch a LLoyds account or is it regarded as a Bank of Scotland account for this offer?

No, Lloyds Bank is not part of the Bank of Scotland.

Both banks are owned by the Lloyds Group, as is Halifax.

Thanks for that, Lloyds is it then . .
