Does the rewards tracker work in MS Edge for anyone?
 It hangs at 'app Redirect' for me.

Same here. It works perfectly in Chrome.

Works for me.  Tracker confirms I'm on course to achieve £5 Rewards. 

However, I'm not entirely sure that I reached it in exactly the same way as earlier in the month.

I have 3 reward accounts and opted for all 3 for the £500 spend last month but only 2 are showing up when I select track my rewards. what could have gone wrong?

Because you can only have two accounts registered for the new scheme?

Regarding the £1500 monthly pay-in requirement - do transfers from BOS accounts count for it?

Yes, transfers from BoS count, can be in multiple amounts as long as they total £1,500 in the qualifying month.

There are a few payments which don’t count for the ‘£5 for £500’ offer:When you take cash out of a cash machine, branch or Post Office counter.When you transfer money to another account. Any payments being queried or disputed won't count towards the £500. And we’ll only count payments that leave your account by the last day of the month. But all purchases on your debit card count. This includes debit card purchases you make online, in-store and abroad. You can also use digital wallets, like Apple Pay, Google Pay or similar schemes, as long as they’re linked to your account’s debit card.

Im not certain it still works today  but years ago was a option  .
 I would use my overdraft to fund my halifax accounts when it was £1000 a month (and then later became £750 a month .)
All accounts had zero balance one had a larger OD facility .
I would bounce £1000 through each account then put it back in the original account it came from with the larger OD facility in seconds. 
Todays systems may be different and some people may only have smaller overdrafts but it worked for myself .

That's true, of course, but I think @atlantis187 was wondering why only 2 of 3 accounts were showing as being tracked.  I think that's to do with the number of accounts rather than the type of DC payment - otherwise it could say £0 of £500 spent and it looks as though there is no mention of the method for achieving the reward.
