Instant Access savings account as "donor" accounts

Could i use a Tesco Instant Access Savings Acciutn as a donor account for switching? Current accounts are always mentioned, but seeing as I already have a Internet Saver with Tesco, opening a few as donor accounts with them seems a safer bet, (in terms of credit rating impact) than going to new institutions and opening with them instead.
Anyone have any experience with doing this?

Yep, the clue is in the name: Current Account Switch Service.
