Switch to HSBC from First direct and hen maybe moving back?

hitchin1964

I' m thinking of switching across to HSBC from first direct to get the £100 switch incentive.

If I don't like the service after a few months and after the switch money is paid (HSBC pay after 100 days according to the info on here), can I switch back to first direct and get their £150 for switching? Or because I've been a customer before I wont get this?

The First Direct incentive is £125.

This from the conditions of the offer:

This offer is limited to one payment per customer or joint relationship. Incentives are paid within 28 days of all criteria being met.

We can only offer this to people who haven't previously held any account with first direct.

From this week's MSE email:

"New. Free £150 to switch to no.1 cust service bank. The price war intensifies. Switch to First Direct* via this link and you get £150 (was £100)."

However, someone who has previously had a First Direct account would be ineligible in any case.
