Switching two accounts to Halifax

I am looking to switch two accounts, 1 sole account holder, 1 joint account, from Santander to Halifax (as a result of the fee increases).
Can I get the £125 bonus on both accounts? It says 1 per customer so I guess not?

Why not take your name off the joint Santander account, thereby making it sole, and switch two sole accounts instead?0

No you can't. You can get £125 for the sole or £125 for the joint. I'd go for the sole and then your partner/spouse can get a switching incentive for a sole account in their name in the future if they wish.0

only one £125 per person, so as others have said you can switch two sole accounts and each get the incentive, so remove one of your names then add it back on once switched....I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Banking & Borrowing, and Reduce Debt & Boost Income boards.
