Halifax £5 Reward

Westie983

Hi all


I work for Halifax and want to explain how the reward payment works.


The reward payment is calculated on the 1st working day of the month, checking the credits and direct debits have been paid the previous month. The payment is then credited the next day which normally is the 2nd but will show credit date as the 1st, credit could be as late as the 6th if the 1st falls in a non working day, the checking part is done on the first working day of the month.

Novembers payment will be credited tomorrow as the checking day was today due to the 1st was a non working day.

T&C are changing as from Dec 1st to explain this further.

looking for it fervently and moaning if its a day late. It happens every month.


I just check mine has gone in next time I am on the bank site.

And what do you do if it hasn`t been paid by say the 6th day of the month?
You do what I did last month

phone them up to find out why.
So when it didn`t show by the 3rd of this month I posted for a quick answer instead of phoning yet again.

Despite the comedians posting useless comments at least it has opened the debate by the regular USEFUL posters and I thank them for their comments.

The "2nd working day" seems to be buried deep somewhere in their 48 page T&C document.
I may get round to reading it after I`ve finished War and Peace.

The matter of Halifax reward deposits has been discussed ages ago on this forum. May be this time it will be the last time that somebody asks when they get their free fivers.

You can use CTRL+F to find specific words or phrases in the T&Cs. You can also read the Change Of T&C notices that Halifax, like other banks, are sending out periodically. That's how I remembered that they had announced clarification of the terms. People who brag about not reading T&Cs for their bank accounts make me laugh as they are just putting themselves at a disadvantage. But they probably don't even notice.

Was just wondering which are the easiest low value (ie £1) direct debits to set up. I have 2 of these accounts but haven't received the £5 reward. Also can i use the same dd for each account?
Many thanks

I don't follow - it was paid on 2 Oct last month, dated 1 Oct, as usual.

2010 had a problem with DDs or something in September, so didn't receive the reward at the beginning of October.

The £1 a month DD from two different Tesco savings accounts is the best.

You don`t follow because you didn`t read the whole thread.

Why certain posters have to oh and ah about another Halifax £5 thread is beyond me

you don`t have to reply if it`s upsetting you.
The very first two replies were enough.

You don't have to react to responses that you feel shouldn't have been made
