Halifax Instant Saver - qualify for prize draw?

Options
One of my accounts have recently matured (thanks for the reminder Halifax ... not!) and have converted into an Instant Saver - does this qualify for the prize draw?

If I switched it to an Everyday Saver, would it qualify for this month's draw for early April?

    Is the sort code and account number different from the Instant Saver?
    If yes then you will need to register it again. If no then the details are still in the system. If you change it to everyday Saver it will count, as that is a qualifying savings account.

    The requirements of the prize draw is a balance of £5,000 or more across the qualifying savings accounts, the month before the draw is drawn.

    Thanks Westie

    I had a qualifying fixed savings account which recently matured and the name of that account has changed to 'instant saver' - same sort code / account number.

    I just wondered whether it's a qualifying account for the prize draw; if not, if I moved the funds to a newly applied for everyday saver account that it would just continue to be deemed as under the £5000 pool during this month.

    It's a savings account. You're in the draw and requires no new registration.
