    repeat after me

    I must read the T&C

    I must not rely on 3rd part websites, or the opinions of internet forum posters, no matter how helpful or reliable they appear

    I must read the T&C

    I logged out as suggested and applied for a second one but was declined and offered a cash account instead.

    I opened mine on Sep 29th.However it wouldn't let me open a second account.

    You have to log out of internet banking and then open an account as if you are a new customer.

    You should definitely be able to open one though!
