    I realise T&Cs aren't yet published, but is there an indication anywhere whether 2 direct debits on the switching account will be required?

    My ISAs are S&S at the moment, and squirting £300 into a Cash ISA won't affect them at all...

    aren't you keen to use every penny of that Tax-Free allowance for your S&S pot though, Biggles?

    What investments do you hold in your S&S ISA that you are confident of achieving 40% return on?

    The anticipation is killing me, the T&C I can deal with. But am at work tomorrow with no internet, by six thirty tomorrow evening when I will see it. this thread will be ten pages long, :eek: then sorting out the tosh from the fact will take the rest of the evening.

    I've got to admit that i too am really looking forward to the release of the official T&Cs tomorrow from HSBC.
    I'm trying really hard to stop myself from dreaming of a massive screw up like yorkshire/clydsedale bank made with their first original T&Cs.

    Fingers crossed guys... :D

    The number you could open and switch to wasn't limited. I made £1,650 with 11 accounts...others made even more!

    They basically forgot to limit the number of incentives to one per customer, and hence some people managed to get multiple incentives with multiple accounts. *cough*yorkshireboy*cough* ;)

    Needless to say, i highly doubt that something like that will happen tomorrow if not for a quite a while...

    Edit: Yorkshireboy, funny enough, beat me to it :)

    You can short-circuit any massive MSE thread on the T&Cs by ignoring the thread and just reading the T&Cs...................
