Halifax Reward Account changing to £3 charge with “lifestyle rewards”

Thanks for the heads-up

Just to say, if you have more than one Halifax Rewards acc, you have to go through the "add" process multiple times

I just added a third just over a week ago, switched and already got the £100. Debit card arrived this morning and £500 'spent'.

System wont let me add a fourth one. Lol.

You got a switch bonus as an existing customer? Or do you mean you've opened 3 accounts as a new customer and got a switch in amongst that? 

I've got 3. Not tried for 4 as don't want to risk losing the 3 I have (or affecting the wife's x3)!

Had 2 rewards for well over 5 years. Had a third with BOS that was only paying £2 a month so switched that out a few months ago for some lovely Virgin wine.

Saw the new Halifax switch offer here and managed to open a third Halifax reward account whilst logged in on the app. Then switched an old RBS account into it (completes next week) but Halifax have already paid me the £100.

So have three fivers every month for the debit card spend. I just deposit money in savings accounts via debit card then they go round robin back into Halifax at the start of the month and repeat ad nauseum.

App wont allow a fourth account, option to open one is no longer present. Happy with three anyway.

On that note.......
Did anyone receive a letter, email or other about the expiration of the offer and what the options will be when that moment arrives?
Most are nearing the 12 months period now.

I looked in the Halifax app yesterday to check my reward status under the ‘more’ tab, Track your reward extras, and there was a new option for choosing my Reward for the next 12 month, so chose £5 again and received email notification to confirm. Starts when the old choice ends so 1st June and get the full 12months.

I'm really, really struggling to find the Track My Rewards feature.

God knows what I'm doing wrong but I've been successfully receiving the £5 since July last year

That's good then. I got the free money last time round, and since have 3x rewards. As you say the app only shows a bank account or ultimate rewards; not sure if I risked the UR then downgraded to a rewards would work. Might test it on the last month of the free fivers! Hoping they keep going infinitely though - I just pay £500 from each card via PayPal to family so no fee! Nice and easy and allows same day transfers back into main account.

What are you using - online banking or the app, or both?

App currently.

I haven't checked the progress of this for months. But i do remember using it back in the first couple of months in July and August of last year.

Are you on the latest version of the app?

Are you actually using the Halifax app, not the BoS app? The BoS app happily shows your Halifax Reward accounts but it does not have the Track feature.

In the Halifax app, on the Home screen, just tap the three dots (More), and you get a whole lot of options, Track being one of them

Halifax app version 69.01.

Thanks have tried that (and many other permutations) and can't get the Track option
