Any NEW accounts with bonus...?

Hi
I need to open a new joint account and Im trying to find if there are any you can open which pay a reward...seems everything offered is for switching.

Anyone know of any, or should I just open one through the topcashback site?

Not looking to stick with what we open, just need it to be able to switch to Halifax for the free £5 a month.

Thanks for any input

    Just open another account for the sole purpose of switching this account to get the bonus.
  • For simplicity, why not open a SOLE account with Bank X, switch it to get the Halifax bonus, then add your partner on to make it a joint account?

    Saves your partner doing two lots of paperwork. That, and they could do the exact same, then they'd also get a switching bonus, and they'd be left with a spare sole Reward account in their name, to collect a second £5 each month.

    The overall plan was:
    I switch my sole account to halifax
    She will switch her sole account to Halifax
    We then open a joint account with someone(hopefully with bonus!) and then switch to Halifax.

    Overall gain of £125 switching x 3, and £5 per month from then on.

    Thanks

    I doubt this will work as a person can only get the £125 once. If you find different, please let everyone know.
