How quickly can I replace a switching-sacrificed second Tesco current account?

[Deleted User]

Last October (2015) I opened two Tesco current accounts and deposited £3000 in each with the intention of using them as savings vehicles. No further deposits were made, no direct debits were set up and interest was moved out of them monthly.

I have just used one of them as a "donor account" for a TSB Classic Plus account for the £125 switching bonus (BTW, fantastic service from TSB; account opened last week, switch date is next Monday and switching bonus has been paid today).

My question is:- I would like to replace my sacrificed Tesco current account with another one. The account will close next Monday, when the switch happens.

How quickly after next Monday can I decently apply for a replacement second Tesco current account. Should I expect difficulties in opening one, so soon after switching?

Thanks for any help.

I doubt that will make a difference. Once it's switched its closed and I don't see why you couldn't reapply for the two maximum accounts.

I opened a replacement account without a problem after 3 months . Did the same for my wife.


You may be able to do it sooner but it seemed a reasonable gap to me.
