First Direct switch offer

For the First Direct switch offer you need to pay in at least £1000 within the first 3 months. Can I pay in £500 take it out and pay it in again to get the switch bonus?

    Do they ask for salary details when you apply for the 1st First Direct current account?
    If you click apply on their website you'll see...
    Apply for a 1st Account Before you start, you'll need to dig out these things:

    your address information covering the last three years
    your employment and salary details
    your current banking details
    also Is there a switching form online?
    Again, from their website...
    Tell us you want to switch
    Once your current account is open, give us a call and tell us to begin the switching process.

    Actually, there is an option to apply to switch online, and you can do it at the same time as account opening.
