Bank Switch Bonus - Min Amount Pay in Monthly Question

Morning all,
Am new to switching and have opened 2 mule accounts to take advantage of offers.
My question is regarding the minimum pay in each month. HSBC's T&C's state you need to pay in £1750 minimum a month.
Can I just switch £1750 from my savings and then straight back out (literally within minutes) to satisfy this criteria?
Thanking you all in advance :beer:

Yes, though may not qualify if savings are with hsbc. Best to do the pay in and out from and to another bank0

Thanks for confirming! Unfortunately I didn't have 2 direct debits already set up on the account i am switching and need to do this prior to the switch the said on live chat. I thouhgt you could set up 2 direct debits within 30 days of switching to new account
So have set up 2 new ones but think will wait till first payment of each has come out just to make sureMortgage When Started Over Pay 01/11/2017- £146,500

Thanks, didn't think of this! But long term, this will be a mule for lots of different banks so think quite a few specifically need direct debits so not too worriedMortgage When Started Over Pay 01/11/2017- £146,500
