Halifax Rewards - missed a month sending money!

Hi All,

I've just realised that I accidentally cancelled a £1500 standing order to my Halifax Rewards account. I got a £50 incentive for joining and was bouncing £1500 back and forth to get another £85 after 6 months... but I've now missed a payment on one month...

I assume this means I've blown it, but would love someone to tell me I can sort it out somehow?

    I think your first port of call is to contact Halifax and apologise profusely and ask them if there is any way that you can recover from your mistake

    Worth a try contacting Halifax but if they can see that you are already just bouncing payments in and out and there's nothing else going on (apart from the debit card transaction you also need to make for the bonus) they are unlikely to bend.

    Yeah, that's all that is going on with that account... My fault entirely, how annoying...

    I'll try them but assume it'll be a no...
