Opened a joint first direct last week - would it look OK to open one with HSBC now?

Hi,

I've recently opened a joint first direct account and intended to switch my banking to them to qualify for the £100 bonus.

Today I've seen the HSBC offer of £150, plus another £50.

Just a bit worried if I apply for HSCB it might look bad on my credit file - as only opened the first direct one last week? Hadn't put through the switching process yet though.

Thanks.
