Account switch then reopen switched account?

I've got a Santandar 123 account, which (long term) I'd like to keep for the benefits. However, I can get paid a bribe to switch this to another bank Anyone know if I could switch the account and then open a 123 account with Sandandar again shortly after? Or would they be likely to refuse this?

Think beyond just one account

Why not just open an additional account with Santander and switch that?

Thanks. I already do have several current accounts - but the others have regular saving accounts attached (so there would be a cost in moving them).

Will Santandar let me open more than one current account, then, and only switch one? I hadn't thought of that - would be a neat solution!

Any restriction on number of accounts will be detailed in the account T&Cs...for example, Nationwide limit you to 4. Is there anything in the Santander T&Cs (not the 123 T&Cs, but the general T&Cs)?

and only switch one?

The current account switching service (CASS) switches just one current account - the one you tell them to switch - not total banking relationships.
