    Has others been paid their £5 as usual toady. I have just checked my bank and it's not there
    As usual? It's never been paid on the 1st of the month...always at the end of the first working day of the month.

    I was scrolling down the thread reading the comments, and when I saw the £5 question I thought to myself "Oh look, YorkshireBoy's coming next with a response he could've copied and pasted from last month and the month before..."

    Sure enough it happened. Made me chuckle.

    My switch from the donor bank completed on Friday and the funds are now showing in my old Reward account that I requested the switch into.

    How long before I get the £100 credit?

    No mention under the details on the website, but there must be people here who have got their £100?

    Interestingly my donor account is still showing on the other bank's internet banking, with a zero balance and is greyed out but I can still appear to use it. When I switched an old flextdirect from Nationwide to M&S to get the £100 voucher that account disappeared straight away completely from Nationwide and is as if it never existed.

    When I switched from the Coop (to M&S), the Coop account still showed for a couple of days with a zero balance. The Coop then removed my internet access so I assume they also deleted the account.

    Its the Co-op I sacrificed for Halifax. I still have a couple of savings accounts there. With a zero balance of course.

    Shouldn't really answer my own question but the £100 incentive has been added to my account in the last hour.

    So that's a free £200 in the last month or so - £100 cash and £100 M&S voucher.

    I still have a few unused donor accounts available - any other easy incentives around? See new thread I started https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5031551
  • From the t&c's from what I read, the £100 is credited on day 10.
  • Guys,

    Would it be possible to switch only one account (out of 3) from lloyds to Halifax for the reward?

    I have 3 accounts with Lloyds (obviously old vantages), I am using one of them only, two are useless now.

    1 switch only ever switches 1 current account, the account number and sort code you ask them to switch.

    I've just opened up a Halifax Reward Account. Out of interest, what do people here do with regards to leaving a balance in the account? I know £750 must go through and 2 DDs out, but do you leave about £750 there each month or do you leave just enough to cover the DDs? The "interest" rate looks attractive on the £750 as is, but I suppose it's tempting to just take the £5 and save much of that £750 in another high interest rate account.
    This is everybody's fault but mine.
