To save reading back 120 pages, and my memory is shot - can anyone confirm if it's ok to have two sole Halifax Reward accounts and if so do you get two reward payments assuming you meet criteria on both (pay 2 x £1500 in & 2 x £500 debit card payments out)? 

Cheers 

You can if its grandfathered rights from back in the days when you were allowed more than 1.

Ive got 2 sole accounts in my name for this reason & both have paid out

Thanks. So presumably being in new to Halifax (took advantage of current offer) it's not likely to go through? 😢 

It will go though.
Most here have 3 or more accounts and received the fiver for all of them.

Thanks - just got offered one via the app but I cancelled out. Doh!! I'll open another next month - cheers for confirming 🍻

You can still apply from IB.
Don't leave it for later.
Open an account with any other bank and switch it asap to Halifax.
There's a £100 switcing bonus on righrt now.
Good luck.

@ funkycredit if you have already got the bonus then you wont get it again.

I also had the £175 back then too 🙈

The one in 2017 so I met this criteria fine - just!

Does it always take a bit for the £1500 paid in to show as done on the rewards tracker?

There is a "Last updated" date in the tracker. Sometimes it updates daily, other times it can take a few working days. I think the updates happen overnight, e.g. if it says "Last updated: 6 August 2020", all transactions cleared up to 23:59:59 on August 5 2020 would be included in the tracker.

Cant find any mention of a Reward tracker on my account nor anywhere that shows which reward you have.  Think I have done everything to qualify this month

After logging into Online Banking, don't select the current account - from the main accounts overview screen, click on "My current account options" on the left-hand side of the screen, under "our products and services" then select "Track your Reward Extras".
If you go into the current account, the same options move to the right-hand side of the screen for some inexplicable reason.

are you using the app or online banking?

are you logging in through Halifax or BoS? In BoS, you can't see it.

In online banking: on the left, under current account options

In the app: click on the 3 dots in the top right corner

Just a heads up for anyone using KRBS for debit card payments.
