I don't want to speak too soon but, for all 3 of my Reward accounts, when I click on the "Track Your Rewards Extras", I now get a message saying that, as I've just added rewards to the account today, it will update soon, so hopefully the registrations have gone through successfully

I am seeing the same but only in the Halifax app. Online banking doesn't show "Track Your Rewards Extras", it just lets me "View account benefits" and shows the old £2 information. If I access my Reward account via the BoS app, I can't see any reward information at all.

Under "current account options", (online), left hand side, there are options for: Add your rewards extras and Track your rewards extras, on clicking Track your rewards extras, it gives this message:-

"As you've just added an offer to your account today, your Reward Extras Tracker hasn't updated yet. Check back tomorrow and you should be able to see if you’re on track for your next Reward Extras offer."

Thank you, I've not noticed this before!

Thanks, yes, I can see that now, too. 

The bit I highlighted in your text could be an issue for some.................

"What happens next?

You’ve added Reward Extras to all your accounts. You can't add another Reward Extras offer until one of them expires. We’ll get in touch before your offer ends to let you know what will happen next."

Looking promising?

Oi
Could all of you who have already added Rewards Extra to your multiple accounts, please stop using the app to check its working on all of them.

Some of us who wanted to take our time, mull over the possibilities, design another spreadsheet page etc etc and have finally come to a conclusion, now can't get into the app as you've crashed it!
PS where has the very-angry-but-only-joking-face emoji gone?

EDIT how did you manage to crash Lloyds as well

Just to say when I tap "add Rewards Extra" on all my accounts, it says that I'm already registered for Rewards Extra. So
1) There's no need to do this action if you've already added earlier on the phone and 
2) it seems you can get Rewards Extra on all your accounts
If the debit card £500 spend into a savings account works, this will be easier than the old direct debit method and earn more too

OK after some trouble with the Track your reward feature (I was getting the infamous Technical error message and even got logged out once), I was able to see the message about rewards extra being on.
So this means the robot did its job and some human picked the information and set us up.
Now, this does not mean necessarily that all accounts will get the reward.
We should check Track your reward again tomorrow as pointed out.
So far so good. The right hand menu Account information and benefits still  shows the £2 reward for all my accounts, ergo none has been downgraded to standard,

So i credited my Halifax accounts with £5k today which should also cover the £1,500 per month requirement for June and the accounts will remain at least £5k in credit for the duration of June.

So I should be good for the £5 payment at the start of July then, right?

Maybe the middle of July.

Worth noting this from the FAQs for anyone expecting a Reward to come through at the start of July:
"If you’ve done all the things we asked of you at the end of the month, you’ll get your reward around the 12th of the following month."

can we expect our final £2 reward payment today?
