First direct switch offer personal and joint account

Options
Hi all,

I'm looking at switching both my personal account and Joint account (along with the other half's personal account too if she wants) to first direct while they are offering £125 to switch for new customers.
What I can't really tell from they're website, is if it the switch 'bonus' would be available on both personal and joint account?

I'm sure I read before that with some banks you can switch both accounts and get the bonus on each but wanted to know if anyone has done this recently with FD? Had a quick search on here but couldn't find anything recent so would be grateful for any advice. If not then there isn't much point moving both accounts to FB as I'm with HSBC already and they seem to be all but the same, but the switch bonus would be nice :rotfl:

Thanks in advance,
John

    **£100 to say hello

    If you open a 1st Account, switch your everyday banking to us using the Current Account Switch Service and pay in at least £1,000 within three months of opening the account, we'll top it up with £100 - it's the least we can do to welcome you on board...

    This offer is limted to one payment per customer or joint account, and you'll get the money within 28 days of all criteria being met.

    Sorry, we can only offer this to people who haven't previously held an account with us, and we reserve the right to refuse your application and extend or withdraw this offer at any time. Credit is subject to status.
