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

TOP_CAT

Others are seeing more than two accounts track ....otherwise you would be hearing all about the.... failure of it to do so .... shouted out loud from the  pedistals some of them are on .

Alantis may have jumped the gun somehow who knows as people do all sorts with accounts cards  etc

I don't recall anyone here posting that more than 2 accounts had tracked? and even if they had good luck to them, but it still remains to be seen what will be paid out in July.
It was once possible to have multiple accounts with all sorts of institutions, all quite legitimately and within the T&Cs. Those same institutions decided to let those customers keep those accounts even though they changed the rules. 
I don't see any pedistals, I see savvy people.

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?

What happens if you try to Add your Reward Extras for the account that's not listed in the tracker?

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

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 .

Transfers from BOS accounts do qualify apparently. My £1500 is made in three payments, the last of which goes in around 26th of the month. I've made a debit card purchase of income bonds to meet the reward requirement but when checking my rewards extras it isn't showing approved as yet, though I only did it on Friday. However the checker said I'd already met the £1500 pay in which surprised me until I realised that I'd put a payment into my BOS account through Halifax before sending externally. 

redux

I wasn't enrolled in the new scheme last month, as I'd never received any info about it, as I already said above, including a CS chat about it and some compensation.

I signed up on the 1st of this month, and on previous checking I could see I was in, and check progress towards the requirements

Looking at it today, I get an error message for the tracking, and on the Add link I'm invited to make a choice as if I'm just starting.

I'll be checking this tomorrow, and phoning up if it's still a problem.

Does your account description still say Reward Current Account or has it been moved to a standard Current Account? This is what was supposed to happen if you did not register ahead of the change.

You're right, I'd forgotten to notice that. No, just Current Account.

When I phoned up previously I was told I could enrol from 1st June onwards. I did so on that day, and the account was srill showing as Reward the last time I logged in (which would have been between 6th and 10th), the Add link said I was already in, and I'd reached £340~ of debit card spending 

Phone call coming up, see if I can be backdated to as if applying when I actually did.

That's what's supposed to happen, but in my case it didn't. I didn't initially register for the Rewards Extra but my account still showed as Reward Current Account yesterday when I added the £5 for £500 debit card spend.
Nothing is showing in the tracking section yet but I gather it takes a few days to update.

I forgot to sign up by the deadline, I signed up a few days ago and it was showing an error on the tracking until after approx 24 hours after signing up. My count was however always showing as a reward account even though.

If it doesn't work, I'm still £1 a month better off 

Why just £1? Current offer pays £2, new one £5 a month. So I’ll be £3 better off a month. Where are you losing £2?

I've got 2 accounts. So get £4 a month
