Setting up a new current account to get switching bonus

I have TSB Classic plus, and I just tried to apply for another current account with TSB, so that I can switch it to Halifax and get the bonus. So, I went into my account, clicked on the link under "Compare and Apply" for Current Accounts. The page starts "Open Another Classic Account". I skimmed the page and clicked on the button saying "Apply for Classic" thinking I was applying for a classic account (rather than Classic Plus). Did the brief application, waiting for a response.

It now looks like I accidentally applied for another Classic Plus account. Will this work? I thought you can't have two Classic Plus accounts (unless the second is joint).

Anyone can recommend any other bogus current accounts I can open for switching purposes? Ideally, I don't want to open one that will stop me getting a switching bonus in future. I already have accounts with First Direct, TSB and Nationwide.
