Halifax reward switching account

Mercgirl

Hi Just wondered if anyone knows if there is an end date to switching accounts to Halifax reward account.
I have noticed today that there is a comment saying start the switch by April 5th, does anyone know if this means the offer is finishing?
Thanks
Gill

Dunno.

The front page of their website has this:

£125 EXTRA FOR SWITCHING YOUR CURRENT ACCOUNT.

Start your switch to us by 5th April to get £125 when you use the Current Account Switch Service and close your old account held elsewhere. If you've had £100 for switching since January 2012, we're sorry but you don't qualify. Switching is easy - it takes just seven working days.

And there's a "LIMITED OFFER." bubble there too.

That strongly suggests the offer ends on 5th April, doesn't it?

You could, of course, switch to Halifax after that date and not get the £125 bonus.

Ah theres no limited offer bubble on the page I'm viewing but on clicking on the links for 'more information' it does say on accounts opened between 16th Feb 5th April!
Sorry, newbie error! (Note to self, read all small print.)
Thanks for your help

Ah mine shows this!
Well if I could post the pic or link I'd show you but sadly I cant!

Ps I see you are a bit of an expert on this site :j

Is it as easy as they say to switch accounts and would you recommend it - seems a no brainer if you're getting free money?!

It is a no brainer, however given some of the post's on here , it is not at all apparent there is one present.
