Switching a 'Switched' Account

in Budgeting & bank accounts
I am aware you are able to switch an account you have previously switched for Incentive/bonus etc.

My question is - should I wait a certain amount of time?

I feel like i've exhausted my 2 main banks I use for donor accounts (7 in last 6 weeks).

Would I be flagged up, if I were to switch an account I had just switched for a bonus?

PS - how many times can I write switch(ed) in one post ;)

If it wasn't already glaringly obvious, looking for some more YB accounts, after being inspired a certain other YB!!

    A couple of days works well for me. Just enough time to withdraw the incentive and much of the 'stake' money originally deposited, leaving a small amount to be switched...along with the two SOs I set up on the original donor account.

    Of course you may get some form of internal flag against your name if you abuse them too much, a little like HR putting on your employment record "do not re-employ"(!), but that's the price you pay!
