    Or is this yet another example of Halifax banking by smoke and mirrors?

    No, it's yet another example of sloppy MSE reporting. The reduced bonus was applicable from January, and payable in February, so you've received the correct amount. MSE often don't explain things properly.

    My Reward account has only paid £3 reward this month for meeting the accounts requirements in January.

    If the Reward payment is reduced from February then, surely, the first £3 reward payment should not appear on accounts until March.

    I personally thought it was clear; I expected and got £3 yesterday. The rewards are paid IN February for meeting January's criteria; the payments reduce from February.


    I mean if you want to argue the toss for 20 minutes with Halifax's superb complaint handling for the sake of £2 be my guest. ;)

    Or if you are a total masochist, do it in person at Halifax Frodsham Street, Chester branch. Utterly useless.
