    Okay I'm all ears. How can I switch from Halifax to Co-oP to get the £110 and £4 and still get the Halifax £3?

    You can have more than one current account you know.

    You can't switch from Halifax and retain the £3 Reward. You need an additional account from somewhere else to use for one of the abovementioned switches. For example you could open a Natwest Select current account for this purpose.

    However, perhaps not a brilliant idea to be opening numerous accounts in close proximity if you're planning a mortgage or loan.

    It's a good job you are as otherwise your spexs would slide down your face :)

    Sorry.

    Open another Halifax Bank Account (non-Reward), then switch out of it.

    Yes I take the point. But to reiterate, you cannot switch from the "Reward" account and retain the £3 reward!
