    Just not sure how long you need to keep them open before you can use them to switch, anyone any idea?

    Could I also ask how long people are leaving accounts open before switching. I opened 2 new barclays accounts for my wife and I last weekend and we have received the debit cards today. I was thinking of putting a couple of hundred pounds in each and then switch to Halifax in a couple of weeks - does this sound ok or do the accounts need to be maintained longer (maybe with DDs added) before switching. Thanks

    That said, if it really ends tomorrow, I don't think it's the last £125 offer from FD.

    The First Direct £125 promo is second only to the DFS promos.

    Comes and goes and comes and goes and comes ....... Only a matter of patience to get their top offer.

    FD's £125 is back again.
