Halifax Reward Account

I've just opened a joint Halifax Reward account. I already have a sole Reward account so does anyone know if I can transfer the £750 from my account to the joint account to get the £5 reward, or does it have to come from an external transfer?

Thanks in advance

    Unless the T&C specify that funding must come from an external source*, then you can fund by internal transfers.

    * they don't ;)

    Yep - My URCA is a joint account funded by 50% from my sole account and 50% from the other joint account holder's sole account.

    Not had any issues and we are only charged £10 p/month for the account rather than £15.

    Just been offered £200 + £5 per month to switch. Thinking of using an unused A/c? Doesn't mention MAIN A/c

    Is it " internal transfer" when you pay in cash money on your account through bank branch counter ? Does it qualified for "T&C funding"?
    Thank you
