halifax switch

Have recently switched from Natwest to Halifax, just wanted to know how long do I have to keep the account open to be eligible to keep the bonus 100 quid.

I also am looking to switch from Santander to co-op with 4 direct debits open and the same question applies.

    I switched from NatWest to Halifax in December 2015 and had the account for four weeks before closing it down.

    The £100 was credited automatically on the date my account opened and they never asked me for it back.
    It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.
