Hi,

Has anyone found a loophole to get a joint account switched to Lloyds and receive the bonus? Am interested to see if there is a way to make this possible.

    That's TSB, not Lloyds. Have you read the T&Cs of the switching offer?

    Not heard of a £125 per month switching bonus but it sounds a good deal ....

    So once I have gone to sole account holder, then switch to TSB, will then adding my wife as joint holder jeopardize the bonus? I'm not saying your advice doesn't work, just helps to know if people have actually done it this way and received their bonus.

    It would - IF the T&C said so.

    I don't see anything like this. Do you?
