How soon after switching to Halifax can you switch again?

I switched to Halifax in Oct 14 for £100.

How soon until I can switch to HSBC, or do I need to wait a calendar year?

Thanks

    You can switch the day after your account is open. However, there may be something in the terms and conditions regarding the bonus they paid when you switched so I'd read through those before switching away from them.

    I can't find anything in the T&C about how long you have to stay with them to leave without forfeiting the £100

    anyone help?

    You can leave just as soon as you've got the incentive.


    To the best of my knowledge there's only one switching incentive running currently that stipulates a minimum term...and that's Nationwide with their refer-a-friend deal (currently £100 each!) at 3 months.

    With the refer a friend thing from Nationwide can it be anybody?

    For example, can you stick a message on social media saying 'anybody want 100 quid referral' lol

    Friend is a very loose word nowadays.

    If you haven't done it and are quick take up TSB's £100 offer via Money supermarket.
    You can switch anytime afterwards from Halifax, you just won't be able to get another £100 off them if you switch back.

    Oh, i didn't think that kind of thing was allowed.

    So i take it that it's fine to tout over social media as well then? Lol. Fb says they are friends, even if I haven't met many of them lol.
