    I have the reward account, not the one with benefits that you have to pay for just the normal reward one and definitely think it's worthwhile, £5 each month for doing nothing but paying in my wages.

    dont know about the halifax one but i have the natwest one
    you pay £3 per month but you get 3% cash back on your bills
    so water, council tax, mortgage, broadband, gas, electric and mobiles
    i earn about £13 a month so £10 after the fee just for paying my bills by dd like i normally do

    they have a calculator on the site that shows how much you could earn and which providers they pay cashback on.

    so far i have about £75 available and another £13 pending. im keeping it for christmas.
  • Hi

    Im Halifax where if you do two dd and pay in a certain amount you get a £5 a month.
    If you moving banks ? look for one that give you £100 or something maybe
