My son has had problems applying for a second Tesco current account online a few times, getting the "There's been a problem....." page coming up.
On ringing Tesco customer services up, they said the issue was that he'd given details of his first Tesco current account when filling in the online application. He was asked to provide an alternative non Tesco current account number at this point, and got his second account immediately approved.
Just wondered if anyone else's problems with opening second accounts are for the same reason?

I had the same problem, but gave a non Tesco current account.
